For someone who takes tire pressure so seriously -- and that

I know about the nitrogen thing, but remain unconvinced of the benefits.
Arguments in favor seem to be: 1) leaks less, 2) weighs less, 3) won't
rust your wheels and 4) won't support combustion.
In my particular case, 1) prompt detection and repair trumps
mitigation of symptoms - the car has continuous monitoring, and I
check with a gauge at least once a week; 2) yeah, by a few grams; 3)
N/A and 4) yeah, that's super important -- if the tires are on a space
shuttle.
FWIW, Cecil seems to agree: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/070216.html
