Anyone have nitrogen in their tire's ? Im getting new tires installed and dont know if i should use nitrogen in my tires. Whats the advantages or disadvantages. Its included in the price of the tire mount and top off's are free for the life of the tire.

 

Tough, I have nitrogen in my plastic cars tires. The Wife's Mustang GT has air. The only difference I can tell is nitrogen cost money, and air is free.

 

nitrogen gave me about another 5mgps and feels like about 30 more hp than stock air!

 

ha ha Good one!!! I did a search after i posted this and their is really no advantage to it. Only advantage the pressure doesn't fluxuate as much as air. Equalls better tire wear,not really a big deal.

 

I have no first hand experience w/ using it, but if it's included in the price, go for it. Why not? I just wouldn't pay for it.

Air is already 78% Nitrogen.

They say that the Nitrogen more stable and won't react to temperature changes as much, so you shouldn't have to fill up your tires more in winter.

They also say it's a drier gas. The moisture in air can potentially give you problems w/ your tire pressure sensors.

 

Air is 78% nitrogen right?

 

yeah..there really is no difference other than air shrinks and expands and COULD mess with the TPMS if you live in a climate that goes from warm to really cold..my truck just came with it from another dealer so i said whatever just give it to me..i wont keep filling them up with nitrogen tho..not payin for that crap here in texas lol

 

right...we breath 80% nitrogen anyways..so why wouldnt we have atleast 80% in the tires

 

It holds the air pressure a little better. Free - fine. Wouldn't pay for it.

 

The tire shop I do bidnez with did Chester's after 4 months of ownership for free. (Box of doughnuts)
18" OE Wranglers. Spare also.

Never have had to check the pressure since.

It's been over a year and at least 10,000 miles.

Wonder if helium would work better?
