You'll be surprised to know how much moisture comes out of a compressor.
That is why it has a drain valve to remove the water the lies in the tank!

If you want dry air in the tires, then why not dry out the air (by cooling
for instance) before filling the tires. It's probably pretty dry coming
out of a compressor anyway. I also can't see the advantage of putting an
inert gas in the tires. You still have air on the outside of the tires.
Seems like a waste of money.

Another question about nitrogen. Shell claims their gas keeps your
engine cleaner. Having worked in a chemical plant and refinery's and
knowing that nitrogen is an inert gas and doesn't burn, how then can it
keep engines cleaner. Nitrogen is used to purge other gases in welding
and vessels. Just wondering , can anyone answer my thoughts. Wish I was
still working and could ask the engineers.

Nitrogen filling stations cost upwards of $5000. The folks who
buy them need a return on investment, so they tout the benefits of
nitrogen so they can sell it to you. To my knowledge, there is no
research that shows any thing that makes it worth the money that
the consumer spends. It's a profit center (once the machine is
paid off) for the business that buys the equipment, nothing more.
Racing teams use nitrogen to fill the tires so that they can have
a consistent rise in temperature and pressure because of the lack
of moisture in the tire. Street tires don't need it.

I just purchased a new GMC vehicle and the dealer offered the
following new package called "Nitro Fill'. The claim is that
nitrogen is better than compressed air in a tire. They claim that
nitrogen is a dry gas and is free of moisture. It doesn't
deteriorate the rubber and it is lss susceptible to air loss with
temperature changes.
I'd be interested to hear what the "group" thinks about this.
