Has anyone here ever tried using nitrogen for the tires?

I have these on all of my cars and if feels quieter on the tyres and handle better on corners too.

I cannot believe the number of people that failed to pay attention in science. The thread is funny, yet tragically sad.
Forget science: Here's how I "pay" for air;
1) go to gas station
2) say to attendant "hey buddy, can you turn the air machine on for me? Thanks"
3) fill air
4)leave
Even a penny more and I would just go get a compressor - can find one for $40 at home depot.

In extreme cold temperatures (like in Canada) the expanding and shrinking of "regular" air is noticable (will trigger tpms sensors) so this is where the nitrogen is useful. With nitrogen in the tires the shrinkage is much less and therefore no tpms warnings. For all those people that are saying that nitrogen is useless, you are all probably living in warming climates where temperature does not fluctuate enough to make a noticable difference. But in terms of whether or not it is worth $75 that is up to you,

I live in Canada, Winnipeg, freaking cold in the winter. Nitrogen in tires is a scam and nothing more then marketing hype. THE AIR YOU BREATHE AND FILL YOUR TIRES UP WITH FOR FREE IS COMPOSED OF ALMOST 80% NITROGEN.

This thread is pure comedy gold.
You are made up of 61% water.
A watermelon is 90% water.
OMG! You're 2/3 identical to a watermelon, what a scam!
