    In the past round of ice and snow, I lost a valve stem cap. I noticed it while washing my truck today, so I went to get new ones. Well, they had black or green. I know the green are for nitrogen but I currently am running about 78% Nitrogen now so...

    Don't forget to constantly tell everyone how much better the nitrogen is.

    What's the purpose of putting nitrogen in tires? Less moisture?

    I've found the optimal mix, at least for my truck, is 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen plus a percent or so of miscellaneous gases just for flavor...

    I wonder where I can get that mix? Maybe I'll go outside and collect that mix from the atmosphere and call it "Artisan" air.

    Guys you’re missing the point, OP we need a full write up on how to get these, provide Amazon links, and a step by step instructions on how to install these (with photos) I want to make sure I don’t cross thread them or install them on the wrong tire. I’m pretty sure the caps I have are labeled for which tire they go on.

    Make sure you get the right thread pitch too. And if they're not OEM, they won't last long.
