Because that's what they're currently filled with? It's becoming the standard.

Oh awesome, is it just a self serve station?

I second this. It's primarily a sales thing. Yes there are benefits but for a road driven passenger the are quite minimal.

yes its right in the lot

no, its not part of any emerging "standard". You can easily put regular air in the tire.

The only benefits of nitrogen vs air is less pressure fluctuation with temperature, and less air loss over time.

However its frequently sold and over promoted by scammy dealerships as some sort of magical upgrade.

FWW costco fills all tires with nitrogen. Its fine, but not something i would pay extra for

Definitely not becoming a standard. In fact, I'd say it's less common now than it was, say, 10 years ago when it first started becoming a fad.

FYI - regular free air is mostly nitrogen!

You know that normal air is already about 78% nitrogen, right?

It’s not becoming the standard. Also the entire point is they shouldn’t need filled when the temp drops
