Even if you fill your tires with "plain old air" that's still 78% nitrogen. Does the switch to "pure" nitrogen really make that much of a difference? Serious question - I don't know the answer. The "theory" is that the rubber in tires is permeable to oxygen, but not to nitrogen, or not as permeable anyway. If you fill the tire with nitrogen, there's no oxygen to leak out. I have a very limited sample size on which to base a judgment, but after one year's experience with nitro-fill in the tires, it appears to work at least as far as the tires not bleeding down. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I've never had a problem with my air-filled tires bleeding down on the street cars. I adjust the pressure four times a year for the seasons and that's all they need. Three months later, the pressure is the same as I adjusted it to, within a pound or two out of 30. Even the 55psi/85psi tires on the pickup truck don't need much more than that. On the race cars is a different matter, in part because those tires generally have /much/ thinner sidewalls than street tires. On the racecars, most people use nitrogen more for volumetric consistency across temperature (it's a lot drier than ambient air) as due to any leakdown issues ... you don't generally leave race tires alone long enough for leakdown to be a problem. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
