LAC: Wow! Tire Pressure!

[Alex Kowalski]

Yes, but Brett's right about this.  Driving your car up to an air compressor
at a gas station is *going* to introduce moisture into the tires, unless
it's a really good gas station that runs their external air supply off the
internal compressor.  Not many of them do anymore, and you can see it very
easily.  I've been to at least half a dozen gas stations over the past ten
years where I was wondering whether I was putting more air or water into the
tire.

Choose carefully, and if you can, buy your own air compressor.  The CostCo
nitrogen refilling should be already dessicated, I would imagine.

You want clean, dry air (or nitrogen) in those tires, not Mountain Dew. ;)
