Nitrogen Fill Helps Prevent Flat Tires?
http://www.nitrofill.com/customerdealers.aspx
A friend of mine uses this instead of "plain air" to fill his run flat tires on his 5 Series. He says that nitrogen doesn't compress the same way air does and this is why it helps prevent flat tires. Anyone else use this product?

I could be wrong, but I can't see how it would prevent a flat tire. That being said, there in numerous other reasons why nitrogen is better than air in your tires.
Like no humidity (better for your tires) more even tire pressure acros temperatures and probably more. |

Helps prevent flat tires? That's ridiculous. The PSI of Nitrogen-filled tires supposedly don't fluctuate with temperature changes as much as oxygen, but I personally found the real-world difference very negligible. Don't ever pay the stealership for Nitrogen when you can get it for free from Costco (even if you didn't buy your tires from them).

dry air contains 78% nitrogen.
