the bright green I-BELIEVE-THE-NITROGEN-HYPE-AND-I'M-AN-IDIOT valve caps.  I didn't pay "extra" for the nitrogen - it's just what Costco puts in everyone's tires.

Hmm.  I didn't get those when the Blizzak's were installed last fall.  Must be something new?.  Maybe they just liked you better & gave you the fancy green caps.

Lots of meetings yesterday and today regarding brewery stuff.......meetings with BDC, ACOA, construction company, and local municipality.  I've obviously never been involved in a project this size so it seems overwhelming at times.  But I'm fairly certain I have a location of where I'm building my brewery.  I'm excited, but at the same time it scares the sh!t out of me.

Got my new A/S Michelins installed at Costco yesterday.  It was raining when I collected my car, so hopped in quick.  Got home, looked at the tires, and noticed they've got the bright green I-BELIEVE-THE-NITROGEN-HYPE-AND-I'M-AN-IDIOT valve caps.  I didn't pay "extra" for the nitrogen - it's just what Costco puts in everyone's tires.

Needless to say, I will be asking for four black ones when I go back for the 40 km torque check.
Not really crap.  Nitrogen doesn't have the pressure change extremes that N02 does with temperature changes.  Means idiots (not you) won't have to stress out as often when their TPMS tells them that their tires' pressure is low.  Also most people don't check their tire pressure at all from what I've heard and unfortunately some TPMS only warn you when there's a differential in rolling diameter across the 4 tires meaning that it won't warn you if *all* your tires are underinflated or overinflated.  Nitrogen filled tires means that there are a few less people on the highways with tires on the verge of exploding and wiping out other innocents in the resultant calamity.

The last time I had tires done, I asked for a 78% nitrogen mix.
