Location: western PA		Ditto Paul.............waste of money on trailer tires. If you had an airplane or race car, it would be a different story.

Waste of money. The only thing you are doing when filling with Nitrogen is you are getting rid of the moisture in the tire. Nitrogen is stable with temperature changes and moisture is not. You get moisture in compressed air.
