Yep...for over 5 years now.

When it was my daily driver, had to top off with 3 lbs or less every 6 months or so. Now that it sits most of the time it seems to need a bit more 5-10 lbs every 3 months or so.

I went to Nitrogen in the tires. I had good results, at least for me, and in Florida.

Air is 78% Nitrogen, so

100% Nitrogen is dryer, larger molecule, and not as sensitive to heat.

That said, not sure it is worth it for my kind of driving.

have use nitrogen for the last two years and love it. Just don't get a flat tire. Those big tires like to pick up nails. I been unlucky enought to have two flat tires. No big deal, just had to add air when I got them fix. Then went back to back to my dealer and get nitrogen put back in. Kind of a hassle. But I think it worth it.
