It should be here in the 3rd week in Feb.Here is my question: the sa asked me if I wanted nitrogen in my tires(19 inch RF) for $75 claiming that it will give me a more consistant /even pressure within the tire and therefore better contact with the road . Has anyone heard anything about this or its just a waste of money on air ?
The Tire Depot (if you are in GTA) will do it for you for 35 dollars within probably 5 minutes, as long as they are not busy.

I have it in my X5 4.4. It drives little bit differently on the hwy and for sure keeps the pressure in tires better.
