The tire compound is soft. When it sits the weight of the truck causes the tire to settle and develop a flat area on the portion that was in contact with the ground. As you drive the rubber gets hotter and the area that was flat disappears. It has nothing to do with air pressure causing the tire to go flat

Doing it, lest risk of blown tire because of low temperature consistency is obtained with the nitrogen. Mean less heat

Fine dude, do whatever you want. Actually a really good tire for you would be Toyo R888's. They'll work well, especially if you fill them with space nitrogen and keep a good coat of blinker fluid on them.

Why are you even on a forum asking questions if your gonna ignore every suggestion given. Btw the Toyo's are more durable from our experience. We've seen both at the races. First lap Menzies came in with a shredded tire, we didn't change a tire all race.

i dont believe the grabber is much lighter or even lighter then the toyo. general took away from the tread to beef up for the side wall. so what you get is a really dense sidewall, but you lose tread. Toyo or grabber if you don't know how to drive to avoid objects that puncture tires. you will end up with a flat either way.

Hey thanks i got the point, i m not saying that i going to install those tire. It was just a statement that i read about nitrogen on tire. I will have to use those toyos, not my favorite, but thats the one everybody are using. 37x13.5-17

When my bro got his truck with the tires installed from 4 wheels parts those tire came filled with nitrogen that what i said.
Toyos m/t 38x15.5-20

Here's my experience with tires so far.

First Tire) 35" BFG All Terrain: Best damn tire to date as far as I'm concerned. Best in the snow and rain, massive mileage use, good in the dirt and fair in the sand, but the only downfall, they can blow a bit easier out in the desert than some others.

Second Tire) 35" General Red Wall Grabber: Good on the street, really good in the dirt, not all that bad in the rain and snow, fair in the sand, can't complain about mileage wear, but they are heavy as all hell and you will feel you truck lug a bit from it.

Third Tire) 37" BFG Baja T/A KRT Sloppy thoughts. Best of the best in the dirt, unstoppable, not afraid to get punctured. Does quite well in the sand. Grips pretty good on the street. SUCKS in the rain and snow!!! But surprisingly, the tread wear is quite good for as much as I drive on the streets. Actually pretty impressed with the mileage wear. They are light in weight as well, but are very loud on the street.

Honestly..... the BFG Baja T/A's I will never stop using. But I go to the dirt a whole lot and my truck is business as well. They are used for what they're made for. I have my older Generals on the side, mounted and ready if I need to go the the snow. If you're looking for an all around good tire, forget about the Baja T/A's.

Ok, when you said doing it, i thought you meant the tires, not the nitrogen.
