Modeldriver Neutral Newbie April 14, 2003 Share April 14, 2003 Hiya... fren just filled his tyres with nitrogen. Am told it's lighter, more constant temperature etc. Wondering if anyone in MCF tried - what's the effect before and after ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie April 14, 2003 Share April 14, 2003 a friend has it too.....that was the same reason given. but the troublesome thing is that you need to go back to the shop to pump. petrol kiosk cannot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Neutral Newbie April 14, 2003 Share April 14, 2003 I have mined pumped with nitrogen. I had my tyres changed. Can't exactly tell if it is the new tyres or the nitrogen that make the ride more bumpy. But I am okay with it. I was told I can pump at ordinary petrol kiosk.

S2P2 Neutral Newbie April 14, 2003 Share April 14, 2003 my friend went to South East to change rims and tyres and got it done together so i dunno the cost. and the shop told us cannot pump at petrol kiosk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Neutral Newbie April 14, 2003 Share April 14, 2003 I also had mine changed there. They told me can. Now... who to believe??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeldriver Neutral Newbie April 14, 2003 Author Share April 14, 2003 That's what my fren did too, so he really can't tell either. Maybe I'll give it a go if not too pricey, now that I've pretty much bedded in my tyres/rims already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konspire Neutral Newbie April 15, 2003 Share April 15, 2003 actually in CAS, they pump nitrogen for you free if you take their servicing package. some more, they give unlimited tyre puncture service. i think if you just to pump ur tyres, it cost $28...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie April 15, 2003 Author Share April 15, 2003 Went back to Stamford Tyres where I got my rims/tyres to do electronic wheel alignment + got them to package in the nitrogen. Seems to be marginally lighter on handling, even under slightly lower tyre pressure (I run my tyres hard usually). Will try some more and share.

Protoss38 Neutral Newbie April 15, 2003 Share April 15, 2003 How much did it cost u to do electronic wheel alignment + nitrogen at stamford tyres? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeldriver Neutral Newbie April 15, 2003 Author Share April 15, 2003 Total $80, GST included. Actually got ripped off already - they should have aligned my wheels when I changed rims/tyres from them 3 months back, but didn't know better then and didn't insist, so now no record/evidence. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
