Anybody put nitrogen in their tires?

 

Look for bikes/cars with green valve stem caps. I believe it expands and contracts less than air with respect to temperature, the difference is probably not noticable or needed on the street. On a Formula1 car or motoGP bike you may have some advantages.

 

Nope. Air has treated me just fine. Stay on top of your pressures and there shouldn't be a need to nitronize.

 

Nitrogen is less dense and more temperature stable. Again not necessary on the street.

 

Well I know the monorail at Disney uses it for all their tires. I wonder if anyone has done a study on it, perhaps putting it in car tires for mileage and handling

 

Nitrogen doesn't expand and contract like the atmospheric mix we usually blow in does. Like Jaybird said, more temp stable. Not worth the cost for the street at all. Maybe if you're hard core track enthusiast...even then it's not really necessary if you check your temps regularly.

Works well for autocross though...but even then i don't think there's hardly anyone who thinks it's worth it...even the hardcore guys.

 

I/we used it a lot in the Navy. It's an inert gas (doesn't feed a fire) and it's stable at different temps. Places like Disney would use it because it's safer and takes less manhours to check and keep a fleet of vehicles inflated properly.

 

costco here uses nitrogen for their filler ups.

i personally prefer hydrogen.

 

You do know that Hydrogen is highly flammable...as in Hindenberg flammable?!?!?

 

"Air" is 78% Nitrogen already...hopefully no one is foolish enough to pay for the other 22% for street use.

Any difference in thermal performance (heat absorption/dissipation or expansion/contraction) is truly tiny.
