ok what psi?
Not running ANY air in the tires is just asking to have the tires fall off the bead. If you're reading 0psi check your gauage, or get a better quality one.
Personally I don't see the advantage of using nitrogen. Atmospheric air is already 71% Nitrogen, are you guys telling me that the other 29% is going to make a measurable difference in a tire that only uses 10psi or less to begin with? It's useful for high pressure applications in heavy duty trucks but IMO a sham for low volume, low pressure applications like atv tires.
More pressure makes a tire stiffer and shrinks the contact patch. Less sidewall roll but also less traction and flotation. Lower pressures do the opposite, offering better grip and flotation while allowing the tire to flex more when faced with sideways forces.
I'm with V2 rider in pressures, we run about 5-6 psi in the 27" mudlites on the prairie. However you're using them on a sport quad, so closer to 7-8 may suit you better.
