Because once you are in middle of a highway with nitrogen filled in, and you get a tire punctured, there might not be a nitrogen available and you might have to fill in normal air at that time and drive slowly and carefully with a tension a tire alignment problem!

I'd have been in a spot of trouble if it happened on the highway!

As for Nitrogen, it's a scam. My tyres are filled with air. My tyres never get hot enough to make having Nitrogen a requirement (and this is at some pretty crazy speeds, so...)

Yeah thats the reason i asked.
Woah now thats a trouble with nitrogen.
So you fill normal air in your tires instead of nitrogen?
