shelbydream1 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hey gang- I had a friend mention that I should put nitrogen in the tires instead of air for winter storage. Anyone else heard that and where woud you go about getting that done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Yup. More stable. Only thing I don't like is they put green valve stem caps to indicate that they are Nitrogenn filled. Here is a great article on the switch to NO2. http://www.nitrogendirect.com/N2Info.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm undecided. Air is 78% Nitrogen already and the last time I checked, an air gauge was .99 at Wal-Mart or free from a lot of large tire shops. I'd like to see Mythbusters do an episode on Nitrogen filled tires. More Nitrogen can be compressed into an area than standard air but only because it's a smaller molecule. In my experience, smaller molecule = more prone to leakage. Like I said, just my opinion. Why not Helium and shave a pew pounds off the car? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamRide Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Doen't it have something to with the heat generated in the tire? thats why indy cars and such use it i think? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
