Nitrogen for Tires [Merged]

Yes sir, it is Nitrogen because it is an inert gas. It displaces oxygen that's why when your tire becomes hot there will be no tendency that it will blow out. Never never

inflate your tire with hydrogen because it is highly flammable. Please be careful sir.

Yup its nitrogen sir! pero mahal pa din dito sa shaw 100 per tire grabe. hindi pa yata pwede pag samahin yung normal air tsaka nitrogen....

Yes sir medyo mahal nga dahil 100 pesos talaga per tire but worth naman. Don't think about the initial cost Bro think about your safety and the comfort and other benefits that you will be getting when you use nitrogen. Ordinary air will sip out easily from the tire that's why all the car manufacturer are recemmending to check your tire pressure often, if possible every time you fill up your gas. But when you are using nitrogen its not. The comfort hindi masyadong matagtag bro. You try it guys, with the same pressure that you are using with the ordinary air then compare it. Mixing nitrogen with ordinary compressed air will not do good bro. It is recemmended that you have to bleed the ordinary compressed air and they will change it with pure nitrogen. Mga bro if I am not mistaken nitrogen is being used to inflate airplane tires. Imagine yung init na yan when the airplane lands, kung ordinary compressed air yan sigurado sabog yan. Yung sa mga racing car ganun din. Kasi nga inert gas yung nitrogen it will displace oxygen sa loob ng tire mo, so kung yung tire mo will be generating/produces heat hindi ito sasabog. The worst scenario you will have is only a flat tire at dahan dahan ito hindi bigla, so at least safe ka pa rin.

Nitrogen is an inert gas. Air is 78% Nitrogen.

The reason(s) why airplanes use Nitrogen on their tires is to prevent icing. Air consists of 20% oxygen. At altitudes of almost 40,000 feet, air temp can get as low as -50. That can freeze the moisture naturally present in air and cause pressure imbalance. Nitrogen's freezing point is well over that so no danger of icing which can burst the tire upon touch down.

so, unless your car flies 40,000 above sea level, you don't need this.

Most of all, how do you know that they're really loading Nitrogen Gas and not just compressed air?

^ titikman??

seriously, that's a very good point, considering na hindi mu naman nakikita yung kinakarga, Yes it comes out from a what-they-call-nitrogen replacing machine pero you can't really tell right?

Nitrogen is colorless, tasteless and odorless.

Thanks for that good point...
