   Exactly!!   
      
   Seriously though, while I would not pay extra for nitrogen fill, since   
   it's included with tire installation at Costco, I'll take it.   
      
   Costco actually has a vested interest in using nitrogen because they   
   include a road hazard warranty at no extra cost, and because they   
   actually honor tread wear warranties (many tire stores will find any   
   excuse possible to avoid honoring warranties). Nitrogen fill means fewer   
   tires operating at low pressure and fewer warranty claims.   
      
   Andy can educate himself about nitrogen-fill for tires here:
