Topping up Nitrogen filled tyres

[TatteredTorn]

Dear all,

 

If your existing tyres were filled up with Nitrogen, is it ok to top it up with normal air? Or is it a must to top it up with Nitrogen only?

[Lancer79]

Nitrogen only

it's ok to top up with normal air. Not as if nitorgen and normal air cannot be mix. [laugh]

Once you top up normal air...

 

The Nitro percentage in the tyre will change...

 

If you wanna go back to Nitro again gotto redo the old process...

 

Normal air ard 78% but Nitro filled ard 95%...

where to top up? and how much it cost? if any..thanks

true..but the leakage will be higher after mixing with normal air because the % of nitrogen is lesser

i thought normal is good enough on sg road...unless driving long distance more than 200km or travel on high speed...

[Inlinefour]

Nitrogen leaks slower than normal air and dun built up so much heat as compare with air

 

So prolong tyre lifespan and protect the rims and valves from oxidisation ...

i been driving to and back from KL with normal air travel at avg 150km .... no problem

I been using nitrogen I really don;t think it can prolong tyre lifespan if the lifespan refer to thread wear

[Hamburger]

nitrogen is overhype lah.........

[EricTeh]

can i pump oxygen into my tires

 

will it make a difference

My previous tyres have rotate over 50k km with normal air, the shop wanna pump in nitrogen but I didn't bother. After 50k km, still looks like able to tahan another 30k km. It's how you drive.

 

If you drive fast in excess of 150kph frequently, car is heavy always do century sprint and zam brake at last min, even helium also won't help in the tyre wear.

O2 is a good fuel for fire, it might catch fire when the temp is too high...

[Rider88]

guys , do you all feel any different after pumping the nitrogen gas ?

[Inlinefour]

The tyre shop guy told me that Nitrogen Filled tyre dun expand so much like normal ones when long distance driving

 

Therefore it will prolong lifespan lor...

 

I bot the Conti SSR from him got Free Nitrogen cum Rotation...

Nitrogen in the atmosphere is already 78%. And the so called pumped in nitrogen is 100% pure?? Did they do a vacuum before introducing nitrogen into tyre??

 

Bottom line......waste money lah

[Boo_saa]

Waste money waste time...that's what I felt.
