The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the rest is small amounts of other gasses. Yes putting nitrous in your tires will make a nice difference (I do it), 1. Longer Tire Life –When it comes in contact with other materials, oxygen causes oxidation. Oxidation can make rubber brittle and cause it to lose tensile strength. In addition, at high temperatures and pressures, oxygen reacts and damages inner tire liners and belt packages; nitrogen does not.

2.Increased Safety – Under-inflated tires cause 90% of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential.

3.Nitrogen in your tires maintains proper pressure, which keeps the recommended “contact patch” on the road longer and reduces rolling resistance, which translates to better fuel economy. In fact, properly inflated tires can improve your gas mileage by about 3.3 percent. That’s a savings no one would scoff at.

By reducing the percentage of oxygen, water vapor and other gases in your tires from 22% to 7% or lower, your tires will maintain proper pressure longer than if you use “plain old air.” For example, with 95% nitrogen in your tires, they retain optimal pressure three to four times longer.

utter BS

Specailly because of the simple fact that nitrogen is aggressive..

It promotes oxidization when the two are present..


This converstation is relative to

"If I throw a penny in the lake.. does the water level go up? "

Nitrogen in tires maintains proper pressure, keeps the recommended “contact patch” on the road longer and reduces rolling resistance. That translates to better fuel economy and fewer toxic emissions into our atmosphere.

But that’s not all. With more consistent pressure, your tires won’t wear as fast. Theoretically, if everyone used nitrogen we could decrease the demand for tires. Manufacturing fewer tires would decrease pressure on natural resources used in the process, lower toxic emissions coming from manufacturing plants, decrease shipping of tires and…well, you get the idea.

Your missing the point completely

With our cars..

ITS USELESS

Were not driving race cars, are tires are not even CLOSE to being designed or able to gain ANYTHING from nitrogen..

And our tires will STILL LOSE pressure REGARDLESS of what you put in it..

You'll save your tire wear better by filling your trunk up with helium ballons..
Or getting as much weight out of your car as possible..

Get it..?


Promoting nitrogen use is bordering on retardism and is well beyond the absurd

Specially because I have heard of people paying upto 100 dollars for it in all tires..

Im sorry but you have been sadly mislead..
Google it..

The first result you'll come up with is a billion people saying its a waste of time first off, and CERTAINLY a waste of money..

Now.. I will not debate the importance of tenths of a psi when you tell me your a nascar driver.

It has never been used to increase the wear of a tire.. ever..

its simply stable by a small percent that is ridiculous to care about for OUR cars..

Or wait..


I always fart in my car towards the back..

if I fart forwards I might slow my car down.. and lose milage
