As far as I know all sh*tfits offer nitrogen now. Last time I had my work combo van in there they put it in at £1 per tyre.

Couldnt tell you if it makes any difference though as being a vauxhall its now sat in the garage waiting to be fixed again.

Corrected for you. Oxygen is an element in its own right. Air is a mixture...   :rolleyes: :laugh:

Beat me to it.

Also remember that you will still have some oxygen in there from when the tyres are fitted so you never will get 100% nitrogen.  Golf tyres run just under 3 bar so assuming 100% pure nitrogen for inflation for tyres fitted on a dry day you will end up at around 93% instead of 80%.

£1 a corner is not so bad, but again not worth it  :sad:

Shame it's not free.

Surely filling it with helium would make it lighter and give more mpg :grin:
