nitrogen in tires
 

The local tire place sells nitrogen to fill up your tires. Does anyone know anything about this or have it done? i hear 1) its lighter, 2) it gives u better traction, and 3) makes the tire handle better.

tks.

Only thing i could think of is to help stop corrosion in the rim.

mods...u can delete this p[ost as i have found my answer.

found one of damon's posts in which he completely debunks the need for this.

and so on...

lol....I always sort of cringe at these type of posts.

the air in the atmosphere is made of almost 75 nitrogen anyways... whats the point

To prevent spikes in air pressure from moisture in the air. If you put dry air in the tires, your good. Another reasoning is nitrogen is innert, so there is presumably little to not change in tire pressure from cold tires to hot. Anyways, you can't tell the difference even if you did do this. This is done in open wheel racing, which is one place where it would be useful.

Truckers have been using it in their tires for years. Aside from moisture, Nitogen maintains better tire pressure as the nitrogen atoms are "larger" and will not seep out from the tire as quickly as traditional air. I ran it in my car for a year and had only a two psi drop in that time.

Umm...that was hydrogen...

afgmoto, that's the main reason...to keep a relatively constant pressure in the tire, but for the most part, it's not worth it for the everyday joe.

why? what do u mean?

i'm just saying they both share "rogen" in their names. just beware!

Of what?

Please search the term "inert gas" on the internet...

gimple, take a chemistry class.

i don't need no classes. i'm supar smartie. rogen = flames and people dieing. how simple do i have to make it.

No simpler than your superb grammar and spelling skills...
