Got a screw in my tire that is filled with nirtogen and am taking it to the dealership to get it fixed. Luckily they use nitrogen, however not to many places around here do. I know better than to put air in it but was just wondering what would happen if you did?

 

no issue at all, when an aircraft tire must be serviced with normal air, the book states simply to drain the air and refill with N2 when you get to a location that has it.

 

so whats for sale?

 

LOL

nothing will happen...you will have some good ole air mixed with your nitro.

 

I know that most here know this already.....'Air' IS mostly Nitrogen:

Air is about 78 mole percent nitrogen, 21 mole percent oxygen, and 1 percent argon

You're just diluting the pureness some depending on how much air you put in of course.

 

try putting this in the right section.... fail

 

I can fix this thread.



For sale: Tire air for lease/rent Certificate of ownership provided for up to 7 cubic feet of non compressed air.

 

The tire will explode... .. . just kidding.

 

 

I think the new GTR will use it

 

I'll offer $5 shipped.
take it or leave it

 

ILL TAKE IT! Do you accept paypal? What a great thread :-x

 

LOL we all sound like asssssholes but this thread failed

 

fill up with helium next time you get the chance to negate the weight difference.

 

Let's play a little fun intellectual game for all of you that think Nitrogen is "better" than regular air.

Which of these claims are BOGUS?

1. Nitrogen leaks out more slowly than air. BOGUS!
2. Nitrogen doesn't promote corrosion of tire rims like air. TRUE
3. Nitrogen offers a smoother ride and less rolling resistance. BOGUS!
4. Nitrogen doesn't cause dry rot of the rubber in the tires. BOGUS!

 

Nitrogen's main reason of use over air is that it is not as effected by temp changes, therefore keeping a more stable tire pressure.

 

Here's my logical conclusion:

The difference is so small that the dollar/benefit ratio is questionable considering Nitrogen is more difficult to get and also costs more. In my opinion, it is not worth it.

I would also like to remind you that Nitrogen makes up about 78% ambient air. So how big of a difference do you think it will make versus regular air?

 

I would not pay for it in a car tire unless I was passing through the arctic

 

 

The GT-R tires will be filled with Nitrogen
