great... then we now have someone that does know what is he talking about
this is pretty much acceptable as at the end of the day nitrogen is just another gas... the real question is how much does the nitrogen expand to a given amount of heating compared to other gases?? i reckon this is where nitrogen proves to be worth it... i currently have my tires filled with nitrogen at 31PSI and the car never felt too hard or so compared to air filled tires at 30 PSI on hot tarmac1-nitrogen is just a gas and any compressed gas when exposed to temperature while maintaing same volume (same amount of molicules) will lead to the increase of the pressure of this gas >>> so nitrogen pressures in tyres will increase when tyres temperature increases.
another benefit for nitrogen... it preserves your tires and rims2- nitrogen represents about 76% of the air components, a chemically innert and intoxic gas tha will never react with tyres rubbers or corrode rims like the water condensates in tyres that is already included in the compressed air
it was said that the seepage is some three times less than air... on the long run nitrogen is cheaper than air as it will reduce the maintenance frequency required... only had to check my tires once since i filled them with nitrogen and that was some 3 months ago3- manufactures claim that seepage losses in tyrew pressures is reduced due to the use of nitrogen who has bigger molecular size than air >>>> less inflated tures over longer periods>>> less tyre erosion and less fuel consumption.
well... what you have said proves that this is not a hoax at all... this is for real and it does deliver what is expected to deliver.I hope this calrifies the hoax of filling tyres with nitrogen
i have gone through both and they are more into supporting nitrogen rather than rejectiong it... even the second link's articce ended wit "join the debate" rather than "it is a scam"check the following links which supports my statement:
