We"ve been through the N2 discussion once or twice here at MustangForums, and the best comment that I can give for using it is that there"s nothing wrong with doing so if you look atthis as a pure luxury item. For the vast majority of people, their driving conditions,and their cars (as opposed to vehicles such as over-the-road 18-wheel trucks), the practical advantages are almost nonexistent.

Personally and as an engineer, I wouldn"t waste the $, and many (most?) N2 stations do not evacuate the air that"s already in your tires in order to get the N2 percentage up high enough to see any benefit at all. Air is 80% N2, benefits of N2 inflation are generally said to start at somewhere around 95% - about the purity that most commercial N2 equipment is capable of producing.

These discussions have also appeared over on an engineering forum that I belong to. Usually such threads are administratively removed as being sales pitches by pro-N2 entities that do not contain any technical merit or request for technical assistance.
