BS. I had nitrogen filled tires and didn't notice a difference.

MovingTarget · 07-13-2008, 12:35 PM

I've heard of this stuff being used.....but don't know of anyone doing it already....

Does anyone have experience using this stuff?.....

Costco uses nitrogen when you do your tires from them.

JustinL · 07-13-2008, 06:20 PM

Atmosphere composition:
Nitrogen 78%
Oxygen 20%

95% is not that great. I've heard of nitrogen being used because the molecules are larger and either don't or more slowly leak out of the tire. Checking your tire pressure every so often would do the same....

20.9%, but who's counting.

Old news.

nitrogen is a dry inert gas, it doesn't hold moisture, therefore preventing corrosion of rims, valves, steel belts and rubber. It is more dense than oxygen so it will leak out slower. oxygen in tires will run much cooler.

its defiantly not a new thing, aircraft, military and race cars have been using nitro in tires for many years.

Not to mention shock absorbers.

	unfortunately, it's a fact that there exists *"an inconveinient truth".* Get out of the box, then recycle it.
