Just a quick question for you all after browsing the 'www'

Nitrogen and what are the benefits !!

Anyone filling their tyres with Nitrogen and if so what are the benefits if any ?

Someone asked this question elsewhere over the weekend & cant remember where. But the answer was Nitrogen has bigger molecules than air. Therefore they leak out slower. The problems are tyres need to be completley deflated before filling and can only be topped up with nitrogen.
Or along those lines. Will try and find where I saw the question posed.

Don't see any great benefit for Joe Bloggs so I'll stick to my usual easy option straight from the air line at the local garage.

Interesting, I'd noticed that in Cosco a while back and have been meaning to ask on here myself but forgot.

I can't see this working for everyday drivers, how would you fill your tyres etc unless you roll around with a nitrogen tank in the boot and something to compress it in with.

It would be interesting to hear from anyone who is using Nitrogen and where they had their tyres filled from and how they tackle the 'topping up' dilemma

We are all filling our tyres with (mostly) nitrogen!

I did it once. Did nothing at all. Wouldn't bother again
