Yes, I'm a card-carrying cyinic, but:

Actually, when I got the tires installed, there was no extra charge for the nitrogen, in fact it's standard practice at this shop and some others to install Nitrogen instead of air. I guess it depends on where you buy tires. I do know that if I ask the tire store to change from air to nitrogen, they will charge $5.00 / tire to do it. Otherwise, where I live its a no charge feature. And free refills if / when you need them. Joe?? It's okay to carry your cynic card. I'm a member of the Optimist club so it all balances out in the long run. As long as my tires aren't flat, I don't really care what is used because I check them regularly. And the compressors just inside the garage.

Anyway, back to the Olds Silhouette wheels..... how ya makin out with them?
