Inflating Tires With Nitrogon Gas

[abramoon]

Are You Driving with Nitrogen inflated tires ?

I like to know the difference you have experienced.

Thanks,

few days ago we refiled Nitrogen for my STi, Legacy Single Turbo and a Honda RS, no diferent at all

running it on the Z & the AT192 - haven't noticed anything worthy of mention as yet

Dev other than Nitrogon dnt u think Helium is a gud option ?

Hi all,

Nitrogen is an inert gas so is safe and also the pressure is more accurately maintained when the tyres heat up under extreme driving conditions. I very much doubt any improvements will be noticed by the driver or the passengers in the vehicle during normal use. In my openion it is an expensive way of inflating tyres with little benifit to the user.

Maithri.

P.S. I believe helium was mentioned as a joke!

lol yeah, i seriously thought this nitrogon thing is another cheat, thanx for the update

Worthwhile spending on if you're using low-pro tyres. Pressure is def more consistant. Especially in the morning when the tyres usually sit a bit lower due to the cooler temperatures.

Spoke to the IOC tire-inflating bloke a few weeks back. Apparently there's a lot of issues with newly inflated tires holding the pressure...lots of people returning with leaking tires!

Have to take this with a pinch of salt though- because i guess the new N-filling stands (and charges) mean that they don't get their standard tips- and hence resentment and malicious rumour-spreading.

As Elvis says, probably only worthwhile for low profile tyres...

i'd bet this has a lot to do with the tipping scene

the normal air dude is dissing Notrogen pretty badly cos he wont get any tips

having said all that...i still think Notrogen doesn't give you much in our driving conditions...

especially if you are the type of guy who checks your normal air pressure often and maintain it properly...

after all the atmosphere already contains nearly 80 percent N... And even IOC wont be able to completely "empty" you tyres before pumping N...

So you will never get 100% N in there... POssibly 95% or so

Nope I dont think the N is popular enough (yet) to hamper the tipping situ, as very few people would spend for something that has a free alternative- Some of the concerns may have a basis, as I myself have a seen few cars coming back for pressure checks.

Thanks everybody for Valuable information's

I wanted to go for Nitrogen and now have to re-consider.
