Default Nitrogen in my tires?

Ok, I got my wheels and tires mounted up today, and I was told that they put Nitrogen (I think) in my tires... If i want to adjust my PSi do I have to use Nitrogen again or can i mix it with air at a gas station?

You should not have to add any PSI unless it was too low to begin with. The nitrogen is more stable and does not loose like the regular air. It also does not fluctuate in temp. as much. If you need more pressure I would use nitrogen again if possible.

If you fill tires with helium, it will lower the weigh of your car by 100#.
