do any of you use this in your tires and is it worth spending the money ??
Hard to argue the facts...I say save your money. How do you know they put in N2? Air is 85% N2 anyways. I would not spend the extra $$, but I would spend it on a bottle of Slime first.
But great question and makes for a great thread. Thank you.
Here's a fact. My 2012 Sierra had Nitrogen in the tires and during cold mornings the pressure was lower just like with conventional air.Facts.
What you don't want in a tire is humidity. Water vapor. It affects tire pressures to more of a degree than dry air.
With nitrogen, you won't get any water vapor.
Fact. Nitrogen will not migrate through a tire like oxygen.
Fact. Water or water vapor in a tire is likely to cause corrosion to both steel and aluminum wheels.
When I have tires put on, you won't see anyone sop a wet mop around the bead. I aint having it. That is shade tree right there.
Each to his own but the facts bear witness that nitrogen has it's advantages.
