Many of the big tire store chains do the nitrogen fill. Cost about $20. Costco does it too. FYI.

Bill,

These theoretically never wear out. They are just sacks of salts which absorb the moisture in the Air. After a season's Use, you can place them in a Microwave for 4-5 min. which will drive all the moisture out of them. Then, immediately place them in a ZipLok for next season. It's probably not a bad idea to microwave them once again just before reuse to insure that no moisture seeped into the ZipLok. I have used the same bags for nearly 10 years following this method and they're still totally effective. BTW, you can find similar dessicant Bags MUCH cheaper if you look around. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

MNboxster is right on the money. Good investment for us that store the box in northern climes.

These look neat but to regenerate you have to put in oven for 6 hours. That seems like a PIA and they don't recommend the old Micowave.. Nice product maybe I can time it right when the wife has the turkey in the oven for 8 hours on thanksgiving (LOL)
