[DeTomaso] Tires, Tire Life, and Nitrogen

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

I don't use it, 3 cooling fans or Red Line race oil either.
I use Blessed compressed racer air out of a air tank. ;-]>

Costco fills their tires with nitrogen.  Just take your tires there and ask 
them, and they'll empty and refill them.

That said, you won't see any advantages whatsoever, so there's no point in 
doing it.  If you are racing, nitrogen doesn't expand with heat the way air 
does, so your tire pressures don't change during the course of a race and alter 
your handling.

For you?  You've got an air compressor in your garage--use it. :>)
