Urgent Question

whitestang · 10-19-2009, 02:17 PM

This may sound dumb, but my friend needs to know. You can fill the tires up with just normal air right?

shumby · 10-19-2009, 02:18 PM

yes

no worries

air or nitrogen

if it has nitrogen already... put nitrogen again

Yes you can fill air into a tire that has N20 in it, the only issue is that you will lose all benifits of using pure N20. But you will not cause any damage. You can then either over time eventually keep doing air until it is back to regular air, or go somewhere and repurge the tires back to pure nitrogen.

What's the benefit of using N20? Sorry not a Z guy.

I'v heard it repels punctures and helps with handling somehow. but dont hold me to that, im not 100% sure

lblucivic · 10-19-2009, 03:17 PM

the pressure doesnt fluctuate with the difference in ambient air in nitrogen.

Knives · 10-19-2009, 03:21 PM

I believe a benefit to using pure nitrogen is that oxygen permeates through the tires at a faster rate than nitrogen, so it helps maintain your tire pressure.

FuszNissan · 10-19-2009, 03:27 PM

Google is your friend.

Gas Milage,blow outs, temp flucuations. Airplanes, and Race Cars have been using it for years. Also if you don't drive the vehilces for a long time, it helps prevent flat spots from sitting.

Liquid_G · 10-19-2009, 03:49 PM

umm you guys know that 78% of the air you are breathing right now is nitrogen right?

FuszNissan · 10-19-2009, 04:21 PM

Sure, but that doesn't mean there are no benifits to it.

molamann · 10-19-2009, 05:52 PM

There are definitely benefits of using nitrogen but don't be paying $100+ for it. Several dealerships I've seen have been charging up to $200 for nitrogen which is just ridiculous.

I think about that every time I hear about someone raving about nitrogen-only-filled-tires being important.

I just LOL.
