Got PurigeN98

Ok, I gave in... there has been a ton of talk and articles published on replacing the air in your tires with Nitrogen. I have to admit, I laughed and made fun of those who were talking about it. My curiosity got the best of me.. yes, I switched my tire air over to PurigeN98.. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. My HRR rides smoother! Check out the details at www.PurigeN98.com. Rumor has it some local dealerships in the Phoenix Area as well as Discount tire is looking at adding PurigeN98 to there tire shops... MPS

About a week, yes, this is a short amount of time.. so I cannot comment on how long before I will have to add air. I noticed a ride difference immediately. I traded by Trailblazer for the HHR, so I have been having a tough time adjusting to the ride of a car again. The N98 has smoothed it out enough that I'm not feeling every bump in the road. It was $30.00 to a have all 5 tires filled (includes spare tire). We have 3 cars/trucks done at the same time so the guy came to us, we had a portable tank filled so that we can top the tires off in about 3-6 months.

Let's say you've lost 4lbs of N98 per tire, what do you think it would cost to bring the pressure back to specs...also, why fill the spare...it's not meant to use long term?

Spare was just part of the package..as to having the tires filled back to specks, they filled a portable tank for us at no charge so that we could fill at home on our own... If I understood correctly, he won't charge us to fill the tank when we need it.

Before, Durring and after pictures, including the bottom line from the bill.

Before:


Durring:




After: (also one of the pics that inspired the full detailing)



The bottom line


all in all the process took about 10 minutes in the bay. I was also told that for the life time of the tires, if the pressure ever changes in any one tire, they will purge the tires and refill them all for free.
