Car Tyres

Post by dicktronics » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:35 pm

Tyres are filled with nitrogen.
May I know how to know when to fill the air by observing?

i look at tyres day in day out...and i dare say that visually you cant tell whether the air inside is 100psi or 200 psi...

go to a tyre shop with nitrogen top up services...

or as bro eeee78 mentioned..get a pressure gauge..

and please do not mix normal air with nitrogen....

Why cannot mix normal air with nitrogen? Have been doing that with my FD since day 1.

normal air & nitrogen gets hot at different rate..when 2 different temperature mixes, condensation may take place..

but to the skeptics...our air is 79% nitrogen anyway..

so its up to the individual...

i had to pump my tyres once with normal air due to a puncture...

went back to office...had the puncture repaired & emptied the tyre of normal air & filled it with nitrogen..
