The thing I don't understand yet, is why the newer vehicles have NITROGEN IN the tires....is it to conserve the life of the rubber..???

Nitrogen vs Air In Tires - Why Nitrogen in Tires - Popular Mechanics does not do much


i have an 04 GTO with 50,000 miles. and a motorcycle i ride 90% of the time

Nitrogen us awesome. All air craft use nitrogen in their tires due to temp and elevation changes.

They pointed out race car driving and I do my fair share of open track days. Nitrogen will not cause tires to increase in pressure as tires heat up.

From something small like an auto x venue regular air, you could start off at 32psi. Add a lap or two and watch the tires increase to 40psi. Keep in mind this us beating the car around turns, not some stroll to the grocery store. Cars will handle differently with just a few psi difference. Now imagine if its a left turn dominate course putting my stress on the right tires. You could easily have a difference of 2-3psi from left to right tire. Now you adjust them down to proper pressure because of the expansion. What happens after all racing us done and car is cooling? You'll be left yet again with improperly inflated tires, this time too low.

Nitrogen if you can honestly, what % of regular people actually check their tire pressure.

Re: what kind of car do u drive , how many miles?

the atmosphere around us is mostly nitrogen i saw a popular mechanics mag where they took 2 identical tires and wheels filled one with air and 1 with nitrogen. over a year there was only about a 2% difference in the two.

we bought my wife anew car. on the sticker it said "nitrogen filled tires $200" after we were done negotiating the best price i made them take $200 more off.

maybe it would make a diff in a track car but i dont see it helping on the street

It would help on the street for the avg driver that never checks tire pressure.
