Nitrogen For Tyres

[Raindancer]

Hi.

I drive a 3 litre pickup and have experienced squealing on my front tyres when cornering, even at low speed. The manufacturers guide for air pressure for theses goodyear tyres on 16 inch rims is 29/30 psi all round. When I visited my local Isuzu garage the so called "engineer" said that it should be 35 psi all round because the car is being driven in Thailand. So I am now somewhat bemused because the car is built in Thailand for use in Thailand. Then he went on to say that if I used nitrogen in the tyres it would save on tyre wear. Am I missing a vital point here. Any views or logical explanations would be most welcome.

In almost forty years of driving I have never heard of this innovation

Oh! just to let you know these are dual purpose tyres which came with the car from factory fit for use on or off road.

Thanks

The guy was talking <deleted>. Different tyres, different surfaces can make tyre noise IF the tracking is OK.

Check for tyre scuff on the edges of the front tyres,if ripped up the tracking is out and will make tyre squeal.
