NO!!!!!!!!!!
Tire selants will damage your Tire Prssure Monitor valves which will cost you $50-$100 EACH o replace.

NEVER NEVER use selant in your tires unless you ar willing totrade odd the cost of your valves.

Short article..... Not Found ..... Let's just fill the tires with Jet A, and be done with it....... slightly more weight, but a bigger boom.

The only significant advantage to nitrogen is that it will be delivered dry. Many air stations, especially the coin-opderated ones at convenience stores, are not used on a regular basis and condensation builds up in the accumulators. You can get a significant shot of water pumped into your tires. If you really need to use such a pump it is best to sacrifice some change and discharge to the atmosphere first to clear the hose of water. Myself, I take my portable tank to the tire store and have it filled; their compresssors are constantly working and their air is dry.
