All of that bull shit they mention on the sticker is a lie or a serious exaggeration. The reason for nitrogen fill in tires is that it is leas impacted by temperature expansion of the gas. Nitrogen gas in tires is very helpful in places with regular and drastic temp swings so that tire pressure stays more constant. There is also an application for nitrogen in low profile tires and racing tires but a TRX on all terrain 32's would not need that at all.

So 100% nitrogen doesn't follow PV=nRT as closely as 80%?

so i looked it up here (getnitrogen.org) and they say it is water and oil in normal compressed air. they also claim that O will pass through the tire easier than N. The water can condense or evaporate based on temp.

so the tldr on the whole thing is that you should put dry air in your tires, and charge $500 per vehicle for it.

SO that 50$ dryer and the 40$ trap on my compressor line are worth 500$ tire fills?

Yes, I posted a picture of the pressure of each, the whole thing is a joke.

Might as well get a covid shot on your way home from getting your tires filled.
