nitrogen
I've been reading about putting nitrogen into tires and the claims that it improves mileage, reduces wear, and prevents rot. Any listee have experience with this? Any list opinions? Oh yea, the boat connection, what would the group think about putting it in an inflatable? It is supposed to leak lots slower than air, and if it prevents rot, why not? Jeff Sharkey MT 34 "Ripple"
Costco puts nitrogen in all new tires. They claim that the larger molicules
leak out more slowly.

Tire Discounters in Cincinnati OH has used nitrogen for several years. I
have purchased many sets from them and the inflation pressure does appear to
hold better.

And, nitrogen don't react to change in temperature changes.

Air is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and misc. other gases.

Jeff:
I did some research on this for my automotive clients and there are no
downsides to using nitrogen instead of regular air other than the fact that
air is cheaper than nitrogen. But other than the cost, there are definite
benefits to using nitrogen. I understand that nitrogen is used extensively
in NASCAR and in aviation.
Automotive repair business are adding this service as profit generator and
the degree of the benefits are likely to be exaggerated.

That's hogwash. PV=nRT. Basic chemistry. Look up "Boyle's Law".
Pure nitrogen may have some benefits, but I sure wouldn't pay extra for it
vs. air, which is mostly nitrogen anyway.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to

I don't pay an extra fee for nitrogen. You can say that it is built into the
price of the tires, but if the dealer is competitive, then it is a non
issue. I agree that the benefits are exaggerated, but there is not a
downside.

What are you folks talking about? Nitrogen is smaller than O2. And air is
Nitrogen anyway; at least 78%. Geeze! Now someone says nitrogen doesn't
expand with temperature, better not tell the balloon dudes, they will want
more CO2 and you know how mad Mr. Gore gets.
I suggest Rn it's a gas about 12 times bigger then N and should stay in the
inflatable forever. And as an added benefit the dinghy will glow in the
dark.
I love free speech but sometimes the strangest stuff comes out.

I happened to see one of those Hot Rod shows on one of the upper
channels of the cable service. I can't remember which one, but the
host was talking about how some car shops will use nitrogen in high
performance tires. First I had heard about it, so I paid attention.
His claim was that the nitrogen would not hold water vapor.
He also mentioned that if you use nitrogen, then you need to make sure
you top off with nitrogen. As soon as you top off with air, you lose
all of the benefits of the nitrogen.
As to using it in an inflatable, I would think that it would be really
hard to maintain a source of nitrogen for topping off. I'm sure it
would be doable, but a PITA.
