Free Nitrogen tire fill @ Costco
Stopped into the Newmarket Costco on the weekend.
Asked at the garage how much they charge to fill tires with Nitrogen.
The answer... "FREE"
Don't know if it's just this store, but you can check your local store.
If you don't know about nitrogen..
There are a cuple of threads here somewhere.

That's what I think they would do. I'll let you know what they do at our local store.

If I remember right it's an 80/20 mix.
Pretty sure they'll just deflate & refill.

Just a guess......anyone know for sure?
I can't get there until at least tomorrow, and they have no public phone.

Yeah that was the joke - air is comprised of 78% nitrogen. It's debatable whether it really has an effect or not to put in 100% N2, but hey, if it's free then I say it's a good deal - can't hurt.

but yeah, the idea is a good one. It remains to be seen if it works well or not.
I'll get in on that free stuff too.......the price is right for me.
