Description of the problem	we got a new kia optima sxl 2013. The tyres are fill with nitrogen gas. On our last state inspection we were told the there was 25% left on the tread of each tyre & will require changing soon. Started to check out prices in the area at all the tyre merchants. Only to find in my horror that only two places in a 30 mile + radius can do nitrogen fill & the prices are horrendous. It should not be this difficult to simply change tyres on a car. Kia as well as a lot of other new cars don't come with a spare tyre, but instead supply you with a small compressor unit. Because of this difficulty, it looks like we are going to be forced to change over to air filled types, and buy a new spare wheel & tyre for the trunk. At a great deal more expense, than should be required. Kia usa are being of little or no help whatsoever. Very angry. I am now in the stage of making a formal complaint to the office of the attorney general, as we it is also a serious safety issue. Anyone else in the same boat????
