actually, its supposed to be the exact opposite. Nitrogen is bigger, and doesnt leak as easily.

Be sure to pick up some snake oil while you're out. Rub it all over the rubber to make those tires really shine....

Where can I get this? Autozone or something?

Ahh... I was wondering why my tire pressure was about 37-38 in my heated garage (around 60-65 deg) and then after going out it would drop to 33-35 deg.

Now I know.

My last car had nitrogen. Didn't have as much of an issue but wasn't able to add nitrogen at home so it was a bit of an inconvenience.

Is it me, or is anyone else finding taht the newer low profile tires and huge rims loose air constantly? This has been a problem on my 2LT/RS, our '07 Corvette, and both the '07 Cobalt SS I had, and my mother-in-law's '07 Cobalt LT with optional wheels. These cars just seem to all loose air more frequently than the rest of our fleet with BF Goodrich TA Radials no larger than 15".
