Nitrogen In tires.....

[Chiefster]

i just switched my air to nitrogen....would that make me have to reset the sensor??cuz its showing the little light for tires....

Sorry I don't have help to give, but...

Why put nitrogen in the tyres? I get the GT-R does it, but I don't get why.

Nitrogen is a more stable gas than just "air"...

In street cars, i think it is still "hot air" to put in nitro though!

Why put nitrogen in the tyres? I get the GT-R does it, but I don't get why.

Nitrogen is a dry, inert gas used to inflate airplane tires, off-road truck tires, military vehicle tires, and race car tires for improved performance, more tire mileage, better fuel economy, and increased safety.

More consistent tire pressure. Reduced wheel corrosion. Prevents inner-liner rubber deterioration due to oxidation. Tires run cooler. Increases tread life. Increases fuel mileage. Helps prevent uneven wear . Nitrogen in tires instead of old air maximizes the vehicles handling, fuel efficiency and tire life through better tire pressure retention, improved fuel economy and cooler running tire temperatures.

Did you fill to the correct pressure?

Did you do a full drain and then re-mount and fill?

You're either low on air, or you broke a sensor in the process. Nitrogen has the same pressure as any other gas, so it won't affect the fact that you still need to fill to over 30psi.

so in other words when you need to fill your tires you have to go to like a gas distributor to do that?

Mine came from the dealer with nitrogen in it, = lifetime refill on the n2 gas. But, salesman did say if I need to air up a tire, to do so with reg air asap, and then to let the service tech know, whenever i bring it in for service / oil change.Also check your local tire / wheel shop, most all of them in my area now carry n2, and can fill / refill on site.Jp

seems like more trouble than its probably worth IMO. If nitrogen was some wonder gas like an earlier thread made it seem with all these benefits it would be more mainstream.

Havent been on in a while....nah turns out the tires were at 29 psi,so i took them back and had them filled......i was scared it was going to be a broken sensor.

oh and when i switched to nitrogen,they took out all the air and filled it up with nitrogen....
