We bought the youngest son a new Nissan Xterra when he left home and had the tires filled with nitrogen. In spite of the so-called nitrogen scams his millage improved but handling also improved. Tire wear was not a good as expected, but factory BF Goodrich is a lousy tire from the get-go.

Yep and I have done the same with all my company vehicles since the dumbies can't use a tire gauge. My tires are actually "tubeless" Perelli XZERO series. The demo car has the Nitrogen filled.

Ya dont have to be rich... at one time back in PA, I had 4 Harleys... 3 were running and insured, 1 was a 1927 HD that I restored to a point but never got running. I wasnt rich... I just built/rebuilt them. I even kept them in the house in the winter, so wifey could have her half of the garage.

Its a deal we made.... she wanted inside when it snowed. She knows the garage is my domain and second livingroom, and had no problem when she came home and bikes were all thru the downstairs. I even snapped up her cooking pans to put under them in case of oil leaking onto the rugs. Here is a shot of my kids playing on one of my bobbers inside. Attachments:

This one was a cop bike, 1987 Harley, which I stripped down to a nicely usable bike that ran great. It was one of 3 running that I had and would look around and chose which one do I drive today...... life was good Attachments:
