Some people say nitrogen stays in the tire longer? Some people say it does not expand and contract as much hot and cool. I want to debunk another urban legion compressed air is cheaper and is mostly free and for 100 years it has been good enough on the road and race tracks. Nitrogen Causes you to return to your car dealer that is what it is for. Unless the tire is mounted evacuated to 30 inches of vacuum then filled there is atmospheric pressure inside the tire. Nitrogen is mixed with air anyway.

What immediate benefits can be expected from Nitrogen filled tires?
Better Maintenance of Tire Air Pressure
Because of the larger molecular size of Nitrogen, it migrates through a tire 3 to 4 times slower than oxygen.
Lower Fuel Consumption
Better tire air pressures improve rolling resistance and reduce the risk of running tires under-inflated.
Is having Nitrogen in my tires dangerous?
Absolutely not. Nitrogen is an inert gas, which means that it does not support combustion.
What are the long-term benefits of Nitrogen filled tires?
Extended Tire Life
With tires maintaining better pressure, tire life can be significantly extended.
Oxidation is Eliminated
With Nitrogen, there is no more oxidation of inner liners, belt packages, valve stem hardware or air pressure monitoring devices.
Improved Retreadability
Nitrogen doesn’t cause tire rubber to break down as quickly as regular air and with the elimination of oxidation, Nitrogen filled truck tires have often had 4 or more retread lives.
Stronger casings = more retreads.
No More Rim Rust
Nitrogen is completely dry. Condensation is eliminated.
On the Road Reliability
Decreased tire failures reduce costly down time.

Nitrogen inflation continues to be greater consistent than air inflation, so the tires guard suited inflation for longer sessions of time (3 weeks to a month extremely of two to 3 weeks). Nitrogen is dry, in assessment to the moist air, which permits decrease the indoors ageing of the tire, and it facilitates to disperse warmth greater beneficial. the honestly consequences are much less stated than they could look. there is not any could desire to inflate highway tires will nitrogen, extremely, fill it with air to easily the main suitable volume and recheck each 2 weeks. yet in any different case to earnings the advantages of nitrogen inflation is via deflating and reinflating the tire as quickly as each six months, ideally consisting of your very own compressor, as this could do away with various the moist and chemical residue from interior the tire.

What I remember was that Air contains moisture which in time can cause rust and erode. My feeling is that most rims these days are probably treated for anti-corrosives so rusting is not an issue anymore

With nitrogen, u won't have any living animals inside your tire.

yes and the benefits are that the person putting the nitrogen in makes more money
