Zolidlim Neutral Newbie May 30, 2002 Share May 30, 2002 Mag, is the psi pressure equivilent to the one small tester we can get in petrol kiosk? Push it in, the reading will shoot out those kind? Or use petrol kiosk air pump to see the psi reading? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Clutched May 30, 2002 Share May 30, 2002 They pumped nitrogen into my tyres... so I cannot go pump at petrol kiosk? know when I must go back to the shop to pump? or when see tyre abit flat then go? anyone knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly75ts Neutral Newbie May 30, 2002 Share May 30, 2002 Hi! there, Lightspeed, The tyre shop that you go to should do it for you. If they charge you for it, then don't pump N2, btw, there's no top-up. Get them to replace all the N2, make sure they jack your car up when they release all the N2 for replacement.

Magfocus 5th Gear May 31, 2002 Share May 31, 2002 Its the electronic one, where you key in your desired pressure and it deflates and inflates accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do u want to pump nitrogen into your tyres? Why not pump Helium? Guess would make the car lighter abit i guess? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Clutched May 31, 2002 Share May 31, 2002 they pumped nitro for me when I bought the tyres from them, seems that it does not expand as much when heated or something like that ....heh. ..ask the other brothers, I'm not good with these things ....

Alvin01 1st Gear May 31, 2002 Share May 31, 2002 hi guys, need some help here, me just chnaged from a stock 185/65/15 to 205/45/17 tyres but me dunno how much air to pump leh, used to pum 32psi all around on m stock tyres, so , can anyone aadvise me on these? thanx! You should stick with the recommended pressures (see your manual or sticker at the driver's side of the B-pillar). Different pressures are recommended for different cars to reflect the difference in weight and its distribution. If your manual recommends 32psi all round for the stock 15", you may not go too far wrond with 32psi for you 17". One theory I've heard to back this is that the volume of the air within the tyres remain more or less the same even after you upsize - the shorter sidewall is compensated by the wider contact patch. I believe most manufacturers have done their homework and the recommended pressures offer the best compromise of ride comfort and handling characteristics for the average driver. Of course, you can still tweak the pressures to suit your preference. In general, higher (than recommended) tyre pressures will lead to more responsive (sharper) turn-ins. You should also experience better fuel economy. The downside is your ride would be bumpier (what you can barely feel with a lower tyre pressure setup can come through much more pronouncely with a higher tyre pressure setup) and you may experience more tyre roar. The reverse is true for lower tyre pressures. A more subtle tweak you may wish to experiment with is to vary the front and back tyre pressures. In typical Japanese saloons, you may find that the recommended front tyre pressure is marginally higher than the back. This is partly to reflect the weight distribution of the car (engine and transmission in front) and partly to mitigate the inherent understeering characteristic of a front-drive car. If you drive a front-drive car, you may wish to up the front pressures slightly if you fancy a sharper handling car with less understeering tendencies. Make it a habit to check your tyre pressures regularly, e.g. every two weeks. Flabby, under-inflated tyres pull the zip out of your ride. Invest in a tyre pressure gauge (with bleeding feature) if you can. Remember, the recommended pressures are cold readings, i.e. taken when your car has been stationary overnight or after travelling less than 1km or so. What you can do is to "over inflate" the tyres at night - to compensate for the fact that your tyres have heated up when you reached the pump. How much to over inflate depends on how far your car has travelled and how hard it's been driven. Typically, I find that a compensation of + 3 to 4 psi (20 to 25 kpa) should do. Leave the car overnight and then next morning, bleed the air in the tyres till you reach the desired pressures. Experiment! Experiment! Experiment! Go by trial and error until your find the setup which works best for you. Cheers, alvin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civic Neutral Newbie June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 why not release all the nitro then pump in the normal air ??? or is it cannot any how release one ???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helium is the lightest inert gas..... balloons are pump with helium to make it fly.... so if our tyres are pump with helium... guess it would be better??
