Nitrogen gas mix with normal pump air???

[Carq]

can my current tyres nitrogen gas mix with normal air pump gas?? Pls advice..

[Picantorianhub]

Sorry ah bro ask u where can pump nitorgen into the tyres ah?

Can last 4 how long?

Sorry curious

[Furrynadz]

air is 78% nitro, why not?

just that u change the %

[Furrynadz]

autobacs/stamford tyres/most of the shops in ubi/the more famous shops eg SE tyres..

topup every 2month or so enough

at most drop 1 or 2 psi

[Carq]

i pump in JB. RM5 each tyre. U can also go Auto saver at kakit bukit. The price not sure but they give u free during servicing[cool]

[Picantorianhub]

hmmm will go check out thanks.. But besides saving fuel what else does it do?

[Picantorianhub]

Really ah but worth anot?

[Furrynadz]

free topup after that

worth it for me

[Picantorianhub]

Ok thanks...

Stamford, cos i got the nitrogen sticker on the rim fr them, permanently free.

Nitrogen tires are good to have, but too much hassle of going down stamford just to pump or change tire pressures.. but should not have any problems if pumped from normal pump station, just that there will be slightly less nitrogen in the tire tube mix

no problem in mixing.

 

Used to pump nitrogen, but find it a hassle when I need to pump.. in the end, changed back to normal air.

[Apollo]

no hassle actually, cos near my place, i just drive over, they pump i drive off. beri easy.

 

better then some shop promise to deliver the moon but no action. talk alot.

[Evildoer]

anyone tried pumping helium, hydrogen or light gas/air, quite flamable i think but i believe at certain speed, ur car may start to fly....then ur spoiler can be put into use liao....

Why inert tire gas filling?

 

Formula 1, aviation and hazardous transport trucks use already for a long time inert fillings of tires. Most of civil drivers do not take care on their tire pressure. Because the pressure loss is reduced and the fire risk is avoided this filling of tires contributes substantially to security, comfort and economy .

 

What is an inert filling of tires with nitrogen?

 

The compressed air normally existing in the tire is replaced by an inert filling with tire gas. This gas is cleaned from particles, oil vapour and humidity. Above all especially this air is oxygen-poor, i.e. inert (= low reactive).

 

What causes inert filling of tires?

 

Inert tire gas avoids oxidation at the rim and valve seat. Also the tire rubber is protected inside against oxidation by the low oxygen share. Inflammations in the tire inside are not possible any longer, since without oxygen in air no process of combustion can take place. The loss of the molecules by the rubber wall of the tire (pressure loss by diffusion) is reduced.

 

 

 

What are the advantages of a more constant tire pressure ?

More driving safety by better handling characteristics

Higher durability of tire caused by optimized rolling resistance

More comfort by better taking up of impacts

Less fuel consumption caused by lower rolling resistance

Better handling & road holding

Reduces tread wear and increases tyre life by up to 25%

Correct inflation pressures reduce puncture risk by up to 33%

Reduced rolling resistance improves miles per gallon by 2%

Improved pressure retention

First used in aeroplane tyres to prevent rust formation and change in air prssure at high altitude. Do not see any advantage in car tyres that operated at sea-level.

Since my tyre was changed in Dec 2004 & topped with with nitrogen gas, there has been no loss of pressure.

 

I notice that the tyres are not so hot as before.

[Picantorianhub]

wow really?

Thanks bro for the info
