    If I see a 10# increase in tire pressures with air, what should I see if using Nitrogen? Thanks, Chuck

    Are you going to inflate initially with nitro or try to remove the oxygen and put in the nitro.
    Can you tell I just like saying Nitro? :P

    Depends on how dry the air you are using is. If it runs through a good drier system (Hoosier Tire Midwest uses a dessicant dryer system at the track in MidDiv) probably not much different. If you use air that your compressor packed in on an 80% humidity day with now drier, the Nitrogen will gain less pressure. Really need to test it to see what works.
