Question:
I realize why racers fill their tires with nitrogen, but will it actually do anything for everyday driving?
Answers:
How can i possibly put a chain saw engine onto a bicycle?
There are some advantages as others have already mentioned but in real life you will not notice any real benefits, and it definitely does not justify expenses. Unless you want to make some dealer wealty, don't do it. I am in Auto Inspections business, and I don't...Your views on "alternative fuels" and hybrid cars?
Sure, Nitrogen doesnt contain any moisture so it reduces wheel aging and rim oxidation over time which increases the life of your tires and your wheels. Also it maintains its pressure alot better than compressed air and is actually safer. It actually can give you better gas mileage as well.Does any one have CDL questions and answers?
I have read that it improves gas mileage.Hireing a Motorhome? The Lowdown Please?
The Nitrogen is 4 times denser than air, so there is less possibility of the bead leaking out and loosing tire pressure, it is better than just air from a pump.Why there are still gasoline cars despite of many alternative ways?
1) Reduced oxidation of rubber compounds - which should extend the life of a tire before the materials fail - which probably isn't very useful unless you keep tires a long time.2) Reduces pressure loss - this is somewhat useful as it extends the time before you need to add "air" to compensate for the air that seeped through the casing - but a lot of the air loss is around the beads where it contacts the rim so that's not as useful as it sounds. Besides even if you only check your tires twice a year (when the weather changes from hot to cold or the other way), you should be able to tell when you need to "top up" and it's not all that difficult.
Why are some police cars black and some white?
3) And the reason NASCAR (and other racing series use nitrogen) - there is no water introduced into the tire. Water, in liquid form, can change the way the heat buildup affects the pressure buildup. For racing this is very important as this affects the handling of the car. But on the street, this has almost no meaning as the differences are small and most folks wouldn't be able to tell the difference - not mention use the difference to their advantage.
All the other benefits that are sometimes sited are bogus because you can get those same benefits if you properly inflate your tires with air.
Is it difficult to get a brake and light inspection from California Highway Patrol?
Hope this helps.
