Thats a pretty hefty increase, matter of fact it's 36%. This is a classic example of experience I mentioned above.
Nitro is not going to prevent the increase or decrease in tire pressures. The nitro is basically O2, with the water removed. We use nitro in the aircraft tires especially the jets, to prevent moisture in regular compressed air from freezing at the higher altitudes. At ground level, it won't make a nickles worth of difference.
All the tire shops in our area,like NTB, PEP Boys, Discount Tire, ete.,are now pushing nitro real hard and they're advertising a complete change out for $29.95. It's a total waste of money in ground vehciles.
