NitroFill

Want it or not, these days you will get nitrogen for free (at least for the first year) when you get new tire. It has been used for decades in Formula One, Tour de France and the Military for better performance (steering/ braking) and longer tread life. BTW, after two decades of driving, I finally picked new tires by myself, with hours of research on the net and study of reviews and calling all dealers in town. After all, I pick the same Michelin to replace the ten years old ones. :)

  1. I cannot believe that they can be used for ten years .....

  2. They might not have been used for 10 years. But according to the Tire Identification Number on them, they've been manufactured for about that long.
