in your opinion i am, pretty sad when a site supposedly devoted to helping others dogs others and calls them stupid and singles people out just so they can rag on them.
Thanks Joe, i appreciate it more than you will ever know.
Nitrogen filled tires are a big deal here were it actually gets cold in winter. Think of the pressure difference of a tire thats sitting cold at -25'C or -30'C then after driving warms up to even 0'C or 10'C. That's a fair temperature change so if you fill your tires when they're cold and with cold air once you get the tires to driving temperature they're overinflated. As stated the nitrogen filled tires are less affected by temperature change so it solves the "under inflation/over inflation" issue of compressed air.
Fair enough Awd, sorry if it seemed like i was attacking you in the earlier post.
no need to apologize. i dont take anythin personally nor do i mean things personally.

My thoughts exactly, enough said.

Fact.
Its not exclusive to the site; in-fact this is a microcosim of the real world.

Nitrogen normally is not explosive but it can be like in the case of in tires, i don't know how or why though. Thats why they put green valve caps on, mechanics need to know if their nitrogen filled. Nitrogen put more even pressure on the tire and resists expansion and compression due to temperature change

did you get dropped on your head as a child? who is feeding you this misinformation?

i hate this... thats not entirely true the week when temps dropped from 80+ down to the 60s 95% of are clients at jenkins nissan came in for tire lights (free since they paid 40 bucks for nitrogen). the 20 or so degree drop dropped the tire pressure in every car 8psi.. thats
every car that came in for the first 3-4 days
i see no point to nitrogen fill other then to make lazy people feel better about themselves for not checking there tire pressures on at least a weekly basis. i check my tires monthly and with regular air they drop 1psi, so seriously whats the point

all your paying for is 30% nitrogen. normal air outside has 70% nitrogen... so when they tell you its better whoopty freaking do. stick with normal air.

check the calibration on your nitro filters... i doubt it's right.
to be effective, it needs to be 97% nitrogen or better... anything else and its just plain air and you ripped them off for $40.

When you fill up you tires with air and send it out on the track they build pressure as they build heat. So if you send your car out on the track with 30psi it can come back in at 40psi. its a guessing game. say you right front raises 10 psi, then you compensate by setting up your car 10psi lower when the tires are cold. when everything is up to heat and pressure starts to build hopefully you will be running where you want to be. Nitrogen eliminates that, it will only change 1 or 2 psi depending on track car weather ect....
I dont think everyone who needs the answer will see this so I posted it as a new topic
ACTUALLY nitrogen is really worth it even if you have to pay. mine were done for free with my tires. now that i happened to get nitrogen ill never use air again. look uo the benefits i dont feel like lisitng them
Working on obtainting an M-Class license... ?? Hint: 2 wheels.
well i work at a dealership... and i got my nitrogen for free... and thats the only way i have nitrogen.... IMHO its not worth the money. they try to market that it resists expansion and contraction, but we had the same thing with the TPMS lights coming on as soon as it got cold.
As for you Bill... I know you said this months ago but what does a good old fashion radial have to do with anything... unless its a bias ply tire on a trailer, all tires that have air without an intertube are good old fashion radials... be it filled with 30% air and 70% nitrogen, or 100 % NO2
