Comment on Nitrogen Filled Tires: a Scam? by cfeagans

I think its true that oil change services are designed to make money -which is why I change my own, usually about every 4,000-5,000 miles. But I don’t worry about the environment. My oil gets recycled.

“i have been to the mound countless times ihave countless relics from the corn fields and creek beds they do have power trust me im sure im the only person with the mound tattoo”
What sort of “power” do these relics have? How do you measure it? Is it electrical? If you put a volt meter on them, what do you get?
Oh, how does having a tattoo of the serpent mound give you any authority? This must be you: https://goo.gl/hG4Ri

Hey Ryan (Air Force guy) — do your research; it should be pretty easy considering your claim to have been in for 10 years, to just ask someone why they must do that. Nitrogen in the wheels of aircraft is a requirement to avoid a heat-induced explosion as the jet accelerates and decelerates. This has nothing to do with air-pressure or any other point other than the one least likely event possible in a vehicle (a fiery explosion that somehow doesn’t kill you before it gets to the tires), it only pertains to the fact that compressed O2 in a rapidly-heating tire is a ticking time-bomb, while N2 poses no threat of internal combustion.

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:41:53 +0000https://ahotcupofjoe.wordpress.com/?p=233#comment-903if you cant dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with nitrogen,the chance of you getting a high percentage in your tire is slim to none,on race tires we would purge them 4 times,but on race cars it has a purpose,in street cars its down rite dangerous,when you load your vehicle and get on the highway air pressure builds this increases load capacity and high speed stability.exactly what you need,i would not allow a family member or friend to use nitrogen i would educate them on the safety of proper tire maintenance

Wow….a completely waste of time this blog entry….The motor
sport racing industry has been spedning billions each year on
N2 filled tyres and believe me, they do their research before
spending that kind of money. N2 is better than plain old air for
tyres.
No arguement. It’s science.

We have to calculate and find out how much tyre is oxidized. OK!, then what is left inside is just some water vapor and nitrogen!!!!.

could the corrosion or rusting on the rims be the result of the salty air in your area, rather than the air in the tires?

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:55:39 +0000https://ahotcupofjoe.wordpress.com/?p=233#comment-830I have the ability to monitor my tire presure while riding my Gold Wing motorcycle. When checking air in your tires you have to do it when the tire is cold. Once riding a motorcycle it doesn’t take long for the air pressure to climb 10-12 psi above the cold tire temperature. The pressure does not rise as dramatically while using nitrogen. Another reason to support the use of nitrogen is that there is no moisture in nitrogen while non of the commercial compressors are moisture free. If you fill air at a gas station check the air coming out of the compressor before placing it on your valve stem and you will see water vapor. Moisture inside your tires undergoing wide range of temperatures affects the life of the tire. The tire may look fine on the outside but is breaking down on the inside. For motorcycles, NASCAR and military applications the moisture free nitrogen is the way to go. If you are on a trip and you need to top off your tire pressue go ahead and use air. A few lbs of air will not add enough moisture to be of concern.
