Nitro Fill?
Written by jim.strtr on 3/14/2012 at 04:47 am

On top of that, there already is 14.7 PSIA of air in the tire and you want to
bring it up to 35 PSI or so. So, there is about one third of the volume is air
and you are adding the additional two thirds. So in the end you are only adding
about 30% times 2/3 of the total volume. I can't see the advantage for what it
costs. In racing it makes a difference, but not on the street. J.S.

that when you just add ordinary air, you're already filling your tires with
about 70% nitrogen. So all those companies advertising using nitrogen for your
tires are only adding an additional 30%. Can't think that would make too much
of a difference. I wouldn't pay extra for it.
