The only way it is an advantage is if you get as close to 100% nitro, They probably charge $10 is because they have the evacuation machine that removes all the oxygen and then charges it with 99.9% nitrogen. I had new tires installed and they used nitrogen as standard for free and when we went to bowling green last August the air temp reached 102 on the highway and my tpm system informed me that my air pressure was to high. They did not remove all the o2 and the heat caused a pressure to rise, had to stop and let some air out.

Good if it is used correctly, I guess that goes for anything.

Just curious, why would you want your valve stems replaced everytime you have your tires rotated?
