[Tigers] Nitrogen filled tire fad

[Steve Laifman]

Alvin,



Funny!  "Asperations"
;-)

However, if I were that concern about the dealer's profits, why would we 
haggle over the price?  Because it has already been marked-up to account 
for it, and your skills. 

Just a note:  I believe that the use of nitrogen is to keep the air dry, 
and not "oxidize" the rubber.  A better solution would be helium, as it 
might make the car a little lighter.  I don't recommend the use of 
hydrogen.  Ask the Hidenberg guys!
