Thought it was an interesting article and wanted to know if there were any Newell owners that put 100% nitrogen in their tires.
Seems by the explanation of the deterioration that takes place it may be one less thing that could lead to a blow out.
I am not sure if there is a cost for nitrogen.
I also found interesting the mention that wet air can cause rust etc. particles that when checking the air pressure with a gauge that the valve stem could get clogged.
I have one that sticks and if I didn't have the covers with a seal then the tire would eventually loose air.
