Well... explain me where the cost is, aside the annual membership fee that
is good for all the purchases in that wharehouse. Never bought a single
tire there. They repairs flats for free, they fills tires with 98% Nitrogen
for free for all the "members".

I guess I can breath a sigh of relief. Today I got a letter from them
again reminding me about how it was recommended .. He said it will
improve my pick up, & I told him my only complaint is the V6 has a bit
more pick up than necessary as it is
Well I should check out at my local Costco wholesale whether they
offer it too.. I have the membership as it is so might as well take
advantage of fringe benefits ...

well, i don't "REALLY" know how more stable it is, but I have it for free so
I don't loose anything. But I don't think I will be paying for Nitrogen. Not
$39 like vineeth said!

Where I live winter temperatures go often as low as -25°C, even lower, and
in summer temperature can go as high as 30 - 35°C so in winter -15°F and
lower and in summer as high as 95°F...

Well if I would have to pay for nitrogen, I would use the same formula...
natural air with 80% Nitrogen in it!!

The cost is incrementally added to every product you buy there. Nothing
is free, the only thing that varies is the method of payment.

You are probably right, but EVERITHING I buy there is cheaper than anywhere
else, so, in fact, it costs me nothing!

What you buy would be cheaper still if they weren't wasting money on
things like N2. That is my point.

The system that Costco has is made by Branick. The local Costco has a
BR-350. You can AltaVista that and see a price of around $5000. They
probably paid less. One advantage them offering to fill members tires for
free is that people might actually take them up on it, and what they are
putting in is dry - be it air, nitrogen, CO2, or Argon. This is much better
than using those compressors on a post at the gas stations. There's no
moisture separator on them, and I've been amazed how much water comes out of
the hose when you squeeze the handle. Water in tire assemblies isn't good.
