The Truth About Nitrogen-Filled Tires — What They Don’t Tell You
Feb 13, 2026
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:
