Nitrogen filled tires
Posted on 11/16/17 at 8:45 am

I am now a believer. Tire pressure does not fluctuate for nitrogen like it does with air.
I ended having to get two new tires last week. Company that I purchased them from was not able to fill the two new tires with nitrogen.
So, who offers this service in greater BTR area? How much should this cost?
And is it necessary to bleed the air out of the new tires and then fill it with nitrogen? How does this part work?

I did not realize that Costco offers this service. I am a member and will check them out.
Do the new tires need to be bled out?

I dunno, I got new tires from Costco in August with nitrogen, and at the first cold snap I had to bring my car back to them to get tires filled.

Yeah once it got cold my pressure dropped 5 psi or so
I just fill them with a home compressor

We have been selling nitrogen at our shop for about six years. I have yet to put it in my tires. I know nitrogen doesn't build pressure like air, but it will bleed out in cool weather and high humidity just like air. IMO, it is not a sound investment. And, air is free.

Not sure what happened in your situation but from what I have read, filling up your tires, providing they have nitrogen in them, should require less visits to the service station or at your home, if you have an air compressor.

I use methane. I have my own supply.

This isn't as good a troll as you think. Maybe you'll have more success on the arts and crafts or soccer board.

Yes it does. Do you even PV=nRT, bro?

Same.
Nitrogen seems like a waste of money.

Tire Engineers does. Not sure how much. Maybe $15/tire?

Thank God. Now my tire pressure wont be low on those 3 cold days each year.

We use argon on all of our fleet vehicles

I get my Nitrogen topped off each time I rotate my tires and they have never needed more than a 1/2lb to top them off.
I never worry about checking the pressure. Been doing this for like 12 yrs.

Everything I'm seeing online says to purge and refill with nitrogen, but those are likely from nitrogen tire fillers who want your $$. It is OK to mix the two, nitrogen will prevent moisture in tires while air is free LINK

I think $120 over 12 yrs is pretty damn reasonable.
