Joe I spoke to the Hoosier rep earlier this year and he advised againt using nitrogen in the slicks and the reason being is that it will keep the temperature of the tires at a lower point and not allow them to hook as well. I am currently using nitrogen in my front tires and find that my front tire pressure is very stable.
