I have a totaly stock 02 ACR with Michelin pilots. At cold pressures using air, I go with the factory recommended 29 PSI all around. At the end of say a 30 minute run, a re-check gives me a reading of 31 PSI. I've been told of the advantages of using nitrogen gas instead of air in tires: cooler running tires,no rust or corrosion to wheels inside, no deterioration of tires inside, slower leaks in the event of a punture-nitrogen molecules are larger than air molecules, and more stable tire pressure. I've emailed Michelin concerning my Question of what pressure to use, but all they said was go with factory recommendation. So, i'm looking to those of you out there with experience in this area. How much, if any will the pressure vary using nitrogen? If pressure doesn't vary would you go with 31 PSI cold using nitrogen? I have been a member for about 3 months, this is my first thread, and i've had my viper for 7 months. Thanks.
