Nitrogen for Tires
Posted by Rusty on October 11, 2006
You quoted a Goodyear bulletin in different questions reguarding the use of nitrogen in passenger tires. Is there not any reliable information and testing that has been done on this application? I am having a hard time finding anyone to give known facts or studies. It seems that all I read is statements like “IF there are advantages to nitrogen over air in tires then diluting the amount of nitrogen in the tires dilutes the advantages.” When you state “if” it sounds like you know of no advantages to this service.
You hit the nail on the head. I recently attended a meeting of reps from all the major tire companies. The meeting was not about nitrogen inflation but, the subject did come up. It was generally felt that there was little data to support the advantages of nitrogen inflation. It certainly does not hurt anything. Do the benefits outweigh the cost? Tire experts feel that question is still unanswered.
