Nitrogen for Tires [Merged]

[Kirsten's Dad]

I've had the chance to use nitrogen in my tires before I changed to a new set of tires. In terms of riding comfort,fuel consumption there's not that much of a difference with ordinary compressed air,main advantage though is the tire pressure seems to remain constant-and that's a big plus for me.

hi, may alam po ba kayong shop na naglalagay ng nitrogen sa tires na malapit sa mandaluyong circle(city hall).. thanks!

[SIZE=3]Nitrogen inflation can provide some benefit by reducing gas "seeping" (pressure loss) at the molecular level through the tire structure, the inflation pressure loss of tires can be up to 5% a month on compressed air. Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules and, therefore, are less prone to "seeping" through the tire casing. He he he he he.. advantage to sa mga di mahilig mag check ng tire pressure regularly. But regardless of the inflation media for tires (atmospheric air or nitrogen), inflation pressure maintenance of tires is critical for overall tire, and ultimately, vehicle performance.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Maintaining the correct inflation pressure allows the tire to perform as intended by the vehicle manufacturer in many areas, including comfort, fuel economy, stopping distance, cornering, traction, treadwear, and noise. If you are a DIY type of guy or you are very meticulous in checking and inspecting your car tire pressure regularly then nitrogen would be of less priority on your part.[/SIZE]

[woohoo]

A tire filled with "plain old air" will lose 1.5 psi in less than a month; with nitrogen, this could take three months or longer.

i beg to disagree brother...

minsan ko na ginawa eto. nag refill ako ng hangin and after quite some time, say mga 2-3 months ata without checking tire pressure, from 26 psi bumaba lang siya ng... 24 psi. so in the span of 2 or 3 months, 2 psi lang ang nabawas!

baka naman may "butas" ang gulong na eto, that's why you can say 1.5psi loss in less than a month. and by the way, is that 1.5psi of yours is constant per tire? :hammer:

Naalala ko lang... I checked my tires last October, and lo and behold, they lost only around 2psi in more than a year. Using ordinary air lang.

My Nitrogen Iflator na po sa Petron Quezon Ave., yung nasa tapat ng aberdeen hotel.

how much sir?

[joseph20]

how much sir?

50 - 60 pesos per tire!

My wheel balancing and aligment din sila! Meron rin sila Engine Analyzer/Reader!

What school did you go to?

Atomic Weight and Number of Oxygen is higher than that of Nitrogen.

Don't make us BOLA.

hehehe! True!

I think he's referring to the size not the atomic weight and number. Does it follow if the atomic weight and number is higher the size is also bigger? nagtatanong lang pow..
