Nitrogen for Tires [Merged]

[spyghost]

why pay for something else that you can get something for free?

I have been using N2 for almost 2 years now, courtesy of Minerva Tyres when I changed the tyres of our Starex to Michelin Vanpix. I must say that there is no performance advantage as far as my limited driving experience is concerned....

Whew! This is the first time I've gotten eye strain from reading about something since researching about engine oils. I'm skeptical about Nitro as well.

Maybe we should email the MYTHBUSTERS. Hehe

hmm may contact po kayo ng minerva.. thinking of getting mine nitrogenized.. hehe

gaano katagal ang nitrogen compared sa normal lang?

[innoBOB[09JmtG]]

the air is free

if you're rich and lazy, nitrogen's for you maybe

sana nga rich and lazy nalang ako... huhu

gaano katagal ang nitrogen compared sa normal lang?

i check my tires every 2 months... constant pa rin naman ang pressure... di nababawasan.

one reason why i had mine inflated with nitrogen is to minimize the risk of tire blow out especially during high speed driving.

How does Nitrogen minimize the risk of tire blow out during high speed driving?

without having to sound technical on this... i read an article that one of the benefits of nitrogen is its ability to maintain constant pressure...AFAIK, it is also being used in aviation.

exactly liv, nitrogen inflation are used to aviation.... but for cars we're not running on the road above 300kph.. unless you do it in constant time... so no reason that you will blow your tire cause by high pressure while running.

That's a Myth and it goes against Laws of Physics.

All gases increase in volume, and thereby increase in pressure, as they get heated up when the tire is in motion.

The reason why they use Nitrogen in aviation is because pure Nitrogen expands at a measured rate. Not necessary in low stress enviroment like everyday driving.
