Nitrogen for Tires [Merged]

[DonT]

I have seen this topic also on Moutain Bike and Roadbike forums. Roadbike wheels, which normally have a pressure of between 90 to 130 psi, are nowadays also catching this trend of inflating them with pure N2.

But frankly speaking, I do not really see any substantial benefit of having Nitrogen filled tires. Especially when somebody claims that they can feel the difference.

Theoretically speaking, Pure N2 filled wheels would have less change in pressure, between cold and warm temperatures, as compared to normally air filled tires. Air filled tires will also contain moisture compared to pure nitrogen which will be bone-dry.

I would rather spend the 100 pesos for 3 more liters of fuel(another 35kms) rather than filling my tires with Nitrogen.

By the way, N2 should come from Bottled cylinders and not compressors. Bottled N2 should have enough pressure to fill up tires up to 35 psi. (if its coming from a compressor, think twice, .)

[quote=Memphis Raines;918503]P50.00 for all 4 tires na? Sobrang mura ata.


yup! yun talaga ang price sa minerva tire gallery at macapagal avenue. . .P50.00 for all four tires ang binayaran ko to re-inflate the tires from 28psi to 30psi. kaya nga nagulat ako sa iba na P100/tire to re-inflate.

meron ako alam sa imus, cavite na P150/tire ang price to inflate; re-inflate is at P100/tire.

Guys san pwede mag-paganito? Sabi ng nakasabay ko sa bigbert's kanina yung brother and cousin daw nya naka-ganito yung mga tires. P100/tire yata pero sulit, most gas stations offer this service daw. Sa mga regular kong gas station wala ako napapansin. Any recommended branches?

Ganda daw ng takbo pag naka-nitrogen ang mga tires. Mga 3 months pa bago ulit magpa-lagay. Ok to!

Thanks!

Ive been using nitrogen for more than a year now, pero ang riding ay pareho din. There no such thing na gaganda ang takbo. They only reason na ginagamit ito ay to maintain your tire too much expansion when you are in the speed or long distance travel specially in the summer. Nitrogen is much cooler inside your tire unlike regular air that it could generate too much heat that will cause tire integrity or explosion.

To use nitrogen: You must remove all the air from your tire then inflate w/ nitrogen. Do not mixed w/ regular air or you wont get what you want.

tsaka na siguro namen subukan ang nitrogen for tires kung readily available na sya anywhere.. stick muna sa regular air..

happy_gilmore: saan ba yung minerva

meron din minerva tire gallery along macapagal avenue; adjacent to petron gas station (coming from cavite, on one's right). . .

if theres a hole in your tire of course it will go flat.. no matter what you use.. i was stating that i used 80% nitrogen on my tires and i didnt suffer a blowout or flats... what i was trying to say was that i just use normal air.. which as we all know, 80% of oxygen is nitrogen...

I used ordinary air and haven't expierence a single blowout or used my tire wrench for 90,000 kms.

so who did the tire changing for you? heheheheh.......ordinary air is composed of 80% nitrogen right?

yesterday when I changed oil, promo nila (KarrJackson here in CDO) is nitro-fill and i'd just add P100 for 4 tires na yun. Regular price is P200. I really had a dilemma. Very tempting for me but then i finally decided against it on the grounds that there are only 2 nitrogen filling stations (AFAIK) here in our city. Kung widely and readily available lang sana ang nitrogen, di na ako magdadalawang-isip

tanong ko lang guyz ano dapat ang standard PSI ilagay ko po for city driving pag naka fill ng nitrogen gas po?

knowing na di na nag eexpand unlike ordinary oxygen sa tires 29 psi thanks

According sa nag fill up ng nitro sa akin, same tire pressure daw. So in my case, 32 ang sa akin.
