I paid $120 for nitrogen-filled tires because I was told it would improve fuel economy, extend tire life, and keep my pressure more stable. So I tested it. For 30 days, I ran a real-world experiment: • Two tires filled with nitrogen • Two tires filled with regular air • Same car, same conditions • Daily cold PSI measurements • Temperature tracked • No bias — just data The results? Nitrogen does hold pressure slightly better. But the real question is: does that tiny difference actually save you money? In this video, we break down: The real PSI difference after 30 days What the science actually says about nitrogen molecules Whether it improves fuel economy If it really makes tires last longer
