Nitrogen filled truck tires.
Posted by Randy from Mississauga, ON, CA on July 23, 2007
Just wondering if you could comment on the Pros and Cons of using Nitrogen to fill truck tires rather than plain old air. Does Goodyear or for that matter the Commercial Tire Industry recommend using Nitrogen over Air in commercial truck tires? Any additional reference materials you could provide me on this subject would be appreciated.
I 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.
