welcome, nitrogen is better, tyres stay up longer and dont expand/contract with the change in temperature

Hello and :welcome: .

i wouldnt pay for it but then i can get it free from my brothers garage. it does maintain a constant psi through the temps and i ran it in my tyres on my ctr for a year and didnt have to top up with air once!
