Nitrogen filled tires?
I just got a set of OEM Rims w/Bridgestone Potenza RE050A. When I checked the tire pressure I noticed that the valve stem caps were green with a logo. When I went to get a closer look at the stem cap it said "Nitrogen". So I called the previous owner, he told me that the tires came filled with Nitrogen from the dealer when he purchased his new car.
Now the problem is that the closes facility with Nitrogen around here is in VA Beach. However after doing a research I found out that I can use regular air. However this is kind of stupid if the dealers are not going to have Nitrogen to refill your tires.
In addition must of the facilities will not service your tires unless you are a member like Costco or bought the car or tires from them.
Do you guys know of any facility around Newport News that has Nitrogen for the tires?

Re: Nitrogen filled tires?
Nitrogen is a waste IMO. We put them in every single car off the showroom floor, and guess what, we still get customers coming back with tire pressure indicators, and often.
