An informal poll ...

Just did. Defender 2s for the Murano.

My Audi came with Pirellis. They're OK, I guess. Traction's good.

But they're starting to show wear at 36K miles (!). Probably go with Michelins next time.

Nokian snow and ice rated A/Ts always.

Ling Chou budget retreads for me.
I like my rattles to have a beat.

Who put the bump in the bump-de-bump-de-bump...

My pickup came with Dunlop grandtrek AT25 tires.

As far as I can tell, no issues. (Now at 30K kilometers, so still pretty new)

Michelin at Costco, with nitrogen, no air please.

Does the 21% oxygen in the tires really make a noticeable difference?

[Renauda]

Tried Nitrogen in my truck tires once years ago. Yes, it made a difference.

…to my spending money allowance that particular month.

[George K]

What does it cost to fill your tires with N2?

[Renauda]

Can’t remember, I think I paid $25 per tire back then.

As near I can tell today it costs at local tire shops min $30 per tire or min $200 if all tires are new.

Costco uses Nitrogen, I don't think compressed air is an option, it is only N2. So no extra charge and Costco tires are generally cheaper than the competition.
