nitrogen filled tyres

[seabass859]

Anyone had any experience ??

For general use complete waste of money.

 

[Chi]

I believe they are supposed to be better because they don't heat up.. Thats all I have

 

[Joe#]

Pointless. I think 5th did a review on this a while ago, and most garages don't use the correct things anyway.

I specifically asked for 78% Nitrogen filled tyres. No extra charge. Quite a good deal I thought.

This.

But less sarcastic.

Ahhhh sheeeeet, hook a brother up?

 

[bloke]

you could get them filled with helium to save weight.

Guy at my local farmers autocare said that filling you tyres up with nitrogen was better as nitrogen has bigger particles and air have smaller particles so you have less chance of nitrogen escaping from the tyre than you do air.

I just agreed and pumped the tyre up myself with air

FFS!!!

Propane is what the cool kids use.

Well this is what we where trying to put into your tyre's at Bedford.

Nitrogen expands less when your tyres heat up during a race, so the pressures vary less.

You don't need it.

But Nitrogen is smaller than Oxygen :S

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol yeh Nitrogen has atomic mass 14, Oxygen is 16.

Hydrogen ftw, Hindenburg style

Hydrogen ftw, Hindenburg style

What an accident! Imagine filling the insurance form out for that.

I fill mine with the breath of a thousand virgins.

Pmsl

5th gear tests showed that unless its done properly with no moisture in the air lines its worse than normal air. so unless its done by race teams your prob wasting your time as most places seemed to be incompetent suppliers

Hold up. So the Unicorn farts I use aren't considered 'pro' anymoar?!?

 

[Knuckles]

I don't know why I was expecting great things tbh as it's just inflating the tyres, but it did just feel like inflated tyres.

its a nice novelty tbh. I get it done every now and then when I go to costco. Free nitrogen yo

He's got enough hydrogen in there to blow himself up. Period!

I had used the on a RS4 on track with thermo TMPS to measure tyre heat, yea they did stay very consistent on track, and temp and PSI only rose slightly.

Its not even worth it for road use. IIRC you have to use special air valves to reduce moister constant...or something...(which mine never had).
