Re: Nitrogen instead of air in wheels

Nitrogen does not promote oxidation so it is good in that regard and is why I use it. The nitrogen must be free of moisture however.
It is affected by temperature as it is a gas and any claims to mpg improvement with nitrogen are at best dubious and at worst ludicrous, take your pick.
Correctly inflated tires are the best bet for higher mpg, tire wear and safety using air or nitrogen.
PS, I got the nitrogen free, so I have no complaints. I would like a cylinder though, how much would that cost?
