Nitrogen for Tires [Merged]

**1D4LV** · April 3rd, 2006 05:15 PM

an update... last weekend when i had my timing belt and other parts (tensioner bearing, waterpump, alternator and aircon belts and engine support) changed sa Minerva, had also inflated my tires to nitrogen (costs 50 pesos/tire). medyo gumaang and masarap patakbuhin ngayon yung oto dahil parang magaang yung goma mo.

had talked too with other nitro users. they attest that sometimes, they go on using their tires without their tires falling under pressure for at most 6 months. kaya daw minsan talaga ok lang daw sa kanila magbayad ng 200 pesos kasi walang abala.

i hope ganun nga.... pero i think syempre. you have to check your tire pressures every now and then.

i'm just wondering, did you guys allow your tires to cool off a bit before loading them with nitrogen or diretsong lagay na after deflating them? unless you really live close to minerva or tireboy, the trip to these shops would necessarily heat up the tire kasi and thus cause a variance in psi measurement later on when the tire cools off. or this is no longer a concern because nitrogen is more constant?
