I went to my local dealership a few months back, and the service manager showed me the product. After reading the benefits, I tried it. So far, so good ! It did improve the gas mileage like they said it would (roughly 2 MPG). They claim longer tire life among other benefits Check them out ! www.nitrofill.com

 

I did this in my 2002 Chevorlet Tahoe that had 22's on it and it actually improved the ride quality

 

I noticed that also. They also say there is no fluctuation in pressure due to temperature changes. That alone helps keep tire wear under control .

 

I used it for a while and it's supposed to make the tires run cooler and give them a longer life. It's also supposed to go longer without having to top off the tires , but on mine it seemed about the same amount of time as with air. I check my tires about once a month and they are always down a little and with the nitro I had to go back to the shop to top them off , so I eventually just started adding air again ...

 

I use it in my 2000 and noticed a heck of a difference right off the lot. Biggest problem as 05YellowGT stated, if you start running low at all, you either have to go back there to get them to fill up or just start filling with air, which defeats the purpose. I know the guy i take mine too charges 5 bucks a tire generally to fill.

 

wow, all the shops in my area that sell this service refill them for free for the life of the tire or as long as you own the vehicle...you just have to drive the vehicle to that shop wherever it may be to have this done...

 

I only put in about 80% nitrogen in mine.
But it really doesn’t matter whether you use air or nitrogen as long as you properly inflate the tires and check them regularly.
Dry air (like the air here this time of year) will contain almost no moisture either.

 

I used it for 5 years with great results one benifit you won,t here about is with your custom wheels ! when you put nit. in your tires it remove the moisture that there with just air. the wheels will have a lot less rust with nitrogen the wheel will look like new inside after 5 years. I add about 3 lb per year with nitrogen I also have a nitrogen machine and offer it to my customers.

 

Dry air will also reap this benefit.

 

i use the nitrofill, we have a ton of tanks in our parts department at the dealership i work for. Its a hot item and its definitely worth the $50 we charge for it, plus we do free top offs for people who have had there tires filled with nitrogen from us in the past. We use the purest nitrogen possible, none of that garbage that has tons of oxygen in it.

 

nitrogen will be going in my mickey thompsons when i get them, im excited now and i have you guys to blame!!

 

That garbage called AIR. AIR is 80% Nitrogen. Nitrogen with TONS of Oxygen = AIR.

 

LMAO!

 

Heh.

 

We use N2 exclusively in B-2 tires..... Maybe it will make your Stang stealth....

 

is that more for stable pressure with temp changes, or for not adding 'fuel to the fire' (oxidizer anyay) when the fusible plugs melt at aborted takeoffs- or both/other reasons?

 

Stable pressure. N2 handles the temp extremes in tires and pnuedraulics in airplanes better than "air". Even dry air. Not just a B-2 thing, but aviation in general.

It's better than air, but not sure if it's worth the hassle / expense for auto tires. Temp extremes just are there, unless you live in the Dakotas...

 

Judging from your posts, do you feel that the stuff is a scam ?

Nitrogen doesn't support combustion, which is one reason aircraft and the space shuttle use nitrogen in their tires. The wisdom of this precaution was brought home by the crash of Mexicana Airlines flight 940 on March 31, 1986. Shortly after the Boeing 727 took off from Mexico City en route to Puerto Vallarta, an overheated landing-gear brake caused a tire improperly filled with air instead of nitrogen to overheat as well and explode, rupturing fuel and hydraulic lines. The ensuing fire and crash killed 167 passengers and crew. However, unless your driving habits are of the X-treme variety, the chances of your tires catching fire anytime soon are slim.

 

If the brake heats up fast enough to make a tire explode prior to the fuse plug relieving the pressure, it won't matter if it had air or N2 in it. the tire would have caused the plumbing damage. More for the stability at temp extremes of altitude and space. Many aircraft have air as an option (or rather N2 as the option in older aircraft) except for certain systems that must have exclusively N2 (F-16 H-70 systems, for example).
