Nitrogen filled tires from factory?

[jatt143]

Has anyone else with a Sas package received their rig with nitrogen from the factory?

Well, Earth air is 78% nitrogen, so technically all tires from the factory are at least 78%.

Not that I know of.

Probably a dealer added option - having nitrogen is a waste of time/money for those who take their bronco off-road and air up/down a lot.

I agree with @Chrome_Pony, atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Really a waste of money. The only thing I would suggest is that compressed air be run through a desiccator and be oil-free.

No. Are you sure this wasn't added by your dealer after delivery? Did they have a charge on your invoice for it? I've seen others with a ridiculous charge for this drivel.

Did the dealer add a charge for that sticker

No charge on the invoice from the dealer. I will reach out to him and ask him if it was a dealer option.

Tell the dealer you want the Nitrogen removed, associated charges deleted and "regular" air installed in your tires. Stupidest thing ever! Actually ask for Helium, it will improve your MPG!

Just got a reply from the dealer it was added by them

I wouldn't give them any ideas. Nitrogen is just air.

One mechanic friend likes it, the other just laughs.....yeah, it's fine until you add air, change the tire, fix a leak, etc.....

The dealer for my Escalade put nitrogen in the tires (and I had them remove the charge on the sale) and I can't say I saw a lick of difference when cold weather hit. All tires still lost PSI when it got cold. Why? Because it's never pure nitrogen in there. Unless the dealer has a way to evacuate all ambient air from the tire cavity while on the rim (and not unseat the tire from the rim- impossible given the rigidity of the tire material), there will never be just pure Nitrogen inside the tire. Regular air will be left inside and mix with the N gas, defeating any theoretical benefit. I don't see car dealers being equipped with the equipment to do a 100% vacuum evacuation on tires and then adding N gas.

I would go as far as saying it is ALWAYS a waste of time/money, no matter what you do with your Bronco.

I think that sticker means they added NOS to your Bronco. Sweet.

Sport mode can eat sh*t...
