Default tire fill?

i currently have the stock rims with (i beleave) the stock tires and i was looking at wheelmax for new rims and new tires to go on said rims. wheelmax recomended a nitrogen tire fill they said it would increas overall performace, keep the tires cooler and eliminate oxidation in the inside, so i was wondering if anyone has done this and would it be worth it to get this done on the stock rims, tires

Nitrogen won't heat up as much as regular air, it doesn't expand the same way and it's more consistent.... however, it's not going to give you much (if any) gains over regular air for Daily driving.... it's a good way for them to "upsell" stuff to you and make a little more money, not to mention if you ever need tire work done you'll come back to them since they have the nitrogen.... if you were racing I'd say go for it, but for a daily driver I don't think you'll gain much of anything...

I fully agree with Sir_Nasty's comments on this ..
The cost of redoing them again outweights the reasoning behind the process.

Regular mout and balance with REAL AIR will do just fine
