[Healeys] Speaking of tire Pressure

[Oudesluys]

Nitrogen is a hype just to earn garages some extra dough. Air consists 
of ca. 80% nitrogen. The rest is oxigen and a tiny bit of other gasses 
like Co2, CO, NxOy, O3 etc. Just check your tires every month using air.
If clean and kept in their protective casing/bag/pouch many of the old 
stick type gauges are quite accurate, but I have not seen those in the 
shops for over 30 years. They were crude but rather effective. Much more 
accurate than most of the plastic dial type gauges.
