I don't know about feeling the diff. between nitro or oxge? This is on the same idea of which is heavier 1lb hammer or a 1lb of feathers. You are still putting the same air pressure in the tire.

Is this a trick question?:rotflmao 2:

You hit hit the hammer on the nail.

I think I'm gonna put bullshit in my tires. Or maybe just hook my compressor up to a cow's ass and fill up my tank.

Well my air is still holding, and the ride is still just as good when I filled it myself with the nitro. Or as others are calling it " COW SHIT "

Ok, a little time for Bovine 101.

A Cow is a female bovine that had one or more calves.
A Heifer is a female bovine that hasn't born calves.
A Steer is a male that has been (moment of silence) castrated.
A Bull is a male that has all parts still attached.

Now, do you really want to put COW excremental in you tires or do you want to stick with the real, non-nitrogen, no bull shit, well, OK - BULL SHIT!!???

There's plenty on this forum to fill everyone's tires!

I filled my four corners with helium....I float over all obstacles now! I could've saved tons of money on lift and skid plates. DAMN!!! Hey, you think if I fill the spare with it I'll never need my hi lift and winch??

didn't read it all,

N2 has less water vapour in it so there is less mostuire = less rust (steel rim) and less tire rot.

Don't pay for it, unless it is around 3 or 4 bucks.

The military uses it in all thier vechicles, so just a thought....

As an Army helicopter mechanic I can vouch for the benefits of nitro. We use it extensively. Yes, we have one of those high fangled machines that makes nitro. Nitrogen is an inert gas that DOES NOT expand or contract due to temperatures. When dealers "air down" the tires and refill with nitro, no matter what they do there will always be some air left in the tire. They would have to vacum the tire to the freakin rim all the way to remove all the air. We use it the tires on the aircraft. Our tires have inner tubes. When fully deflated, a inner tube has no space for air. When inflated, 100% nitrogen. You will never get 100% nitro in a passenger vehicle tire. We also you it in various electrical components and accumulators. Fill the component or tire up once and you never need to adjust it unless there is a leak.

So yes, nitrogen works and works very well. It all depends on the application your using it.

Sorry, but that is just not true. All gasses change with temperature. I have been using nitrogen in aircraft tires for many years and can tell you temperature has an an effect on the pressure. In fact, there are temperature correction charts for tires, accumutaters, etc.
Look at the tech data for your helicopter's tires. It will address temperature.
Speaking of tech data, I hope you use it religiously when working on "my" helicopters. I always did when working on "your" KC-135's.

nitrogen in CARS is a waste of money!!!!!!!!!!......
