May 22, 20187 yr People with little knowledge of motors listen to that Oz guy vids. IMO that Oz <deleted> twist things and he an idiot in my book to say the least.
May 22, 20187 yr I've never heard that anybody puts nitrogen in the tires in Germany, everybody is using regular air, so probably no real advantages and you can save your money
May 22, 20187 yr Popular Post I use a slightly cheaper mix of mostly (78.09%) Nitrogen. Works well enough for me, the other trace gases hardly matter.

I can confirm that our tyres need less attention when they have nitrogen.

I guess you meant Helium as a replacement for Hydrogen ?
May 23, 20187 yr A troll post containing offensive connotations has been removed as well as the replies.
May 23, 20187 yr You go from having to top up once a month to once in six months.I can’t see paying extra for it, but it absolutely has value...
May 23, 20187 yr What about buying a compressor? In the long run it is cheaper, if you got more than one car and a few motorbikes at home. Just check the pressure in your tires often and fill up at home. Correct air pressure saves gas.

If you had to top up your tires once a month there was obviously a problem with your tires I check the pressure in my car tires every few months, and then there is maybe 0.1-0.2 bar missing
May 23, 20187 yr Popular Post Yup - fill tires with N2, lift hood when parked - raise wiper blades when parked. Ain't science grand ! 555

Mrs.Trans PCX has always needed topping up, and that's a couple of sets..Never had nitrogen in them..

The only time I had to keep topping up my tyres was when I had a slow leak. Anyway, what's so hard about checking tyre pressure now and then?

Actually they were on from new, whether the factory put air or nitrogen l dod't know. But I replaced them with the same at a biggish Chinese owned place where they used air. They ALL lost exactly the same amount of air which told me there was no fitting problem. Then I fitted a different brand where they used nitrogen, big difference in pressure loss..At home I top up with my own weee pump which will shove water into the tyre and other gases, so they eventually end up being checked more often..
May 24, 20187 yr When I had a new set of tyres on my last Tuna they put Nitrogen in them when fitted. Telling me if I ever wanted a top up it was free. Did it the first time then decided I was wasting my time. By the time you got to the garage your tyres were hot so you couldn't get a correct reading. They did run cooler and took longer to loose pressure (Had an electric pressure temp: gauge fitted in lump) Was it worth the agro to top up IMHO, NO.

When I have been near my place I get them to top up, then I check the pressures first thing in the morning. But it is rare I am near the place so my home pump has stuffed the concept anyhooo...

Have had my Tuna for 1 year now have had to top up tyres with normal air 3 times during that time but only by a few LB. 7 weeks ago topped them, then a trip to the UK lump standing still for 3 weeks been back two weeks checked them yesterday still topped up. Might have a look in a month or so. Nitrogen might be better??? but I'll stick to my Toyo pump. Lot less agro.
May 24, 20187 yr The placebo effect. Doctors prescribe sugar tablets, garages put nitrogen in car wheels.
May 24, 20187 yr If you had to top up your tires once a month there was obviously a problem with your tires I check the pressure in my car tires every few months, and then there is maybe 0.1-0.2 bar missing0.2 bar is 10%.I topped them up monthly, and they would all typically be 1-2 psi low. So your tires lose about the same as mine.Must be something wrong with yours as well.
