JimJenson Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Air is already 78% Nitrogen, so when you're buying "Nitrogen" you're just getting air without the oxygen/co2 and other trace gases. I tend to agree with you. 30psi of air has the same rolling resistance as 30psi nitrogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ces63ss Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 apparently filling your tires with nitrogen instead of oxygen is supposed to give you up to a 10% increase, there are kits for it if you ever see someone getting ready to inflate their tires with oxygen walk away. What you will have there is a bomb. O2 and oils, greases, etc dont mix. O2 is very explosive and or flamible when oil gets on it. Yes I have read that N2 saves you on gas. I guyss tires stay inflated longer and somehow is lighter than normal compressed air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destey Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 if you ever see someone getting ready to inflate their tires with oxygen walk away. What you will have there is a bomb. Where have you seen people filling with straight oxygen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJenson Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) I pity the poor tire grunt who breaks down a tire filled with O2, while smoking. Can you say richard pryor?

Tzer Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 WOW your getting 15.2. Awesome. I'm at 11.9 (strictly city) Can't wait to see if the "Tune" improves it. I'd be happy with 15.2 I don't think that's bad at all. But I'm content with my 11.9 LOL I don't even look at the gas prices, Got to have it. I just fill up as needed.
