Want to know the main reason why it's not a scam? Go to your local gas station, put air in your hand... Wet ain't it? Because when you compress air, the water vapor in the water condenses, and you're pumping water in your tire. Might not be much, but when water evaporates and expands, it expands many, many times over, causing the PSI to increase. IF you have your own compressor and air driers like we do at work, you'll get mainly the same effect. But yeah, this random dude on the Internet must be true.

I very much like what fuckhead says too...
That a Nitrogen molecule is only 2% larger than an oxygen molecule and that they're basically twins... And then states an air filled tire loses 1PSI every 15 weeks, and a nitrogen tire loses 1 PSI every 24 weeks... Hey fuckhead... That 2% obviously makes a difference more than 2% in air loss, right?

I only look at recent, so I saw it because someone posted a reply. I hate misinformation. My buddy fills his car with CO2, even bigger molecule

I put regular air on the driver side and nitrogen on the passenger side. Left turns felt way better than turning right. Took more left turns because of it but it took me a long time to get where I wanted so I'm back to all regular air. I think they don't work.

Ummm...........yeah. I'll stick with 78% nitrogen. At least I don't have to pay someone every time I need to play with my tire pressures. For now anyway, air is still relatively free.....LOL (except in Canada).
By the way, interesting tidbit: FI rules state that the tires can be filled with either regular air or nitrogen. If nitrogen is considered better, why even give the choice? Last edited by Cyber370; 12-02-2016 at 04:49 AM. |

My Z came with nitrogen in the tires. The tires needed almost no air added for two years, even with large ambient temperature swings. It makes a difference. I didn't pay for it, though.

There's not that much difference between dry air and dry Nitrogen. Most N2 is very dry; shop air can be wet. If you don't have a source for dry air, N2 is the way to go. If you have dry air available, N2 is a waste of money. Differences in leak-down rates are inconsequential, IMNSHO, but I don't mind giving my tires a shot of air every 1-3 months - it's a good time to inspect the tires and wheels. YMMV

I posted this video in an RV forum that I'm on too. Think about 90% of them use 78% nitrogen.
