The Volvo dealer convinced my wife that she should convert our S-80 Volvo to nitrogen-filled tires. Dealerships certainly do need service income when car sales are down. Now the Volvo is set for comp

When all said and done it's not the nitrogen it's the water content. The nitrogen filling is also a bit of a scam IF they don't vacuum the tire out as well, as you are starting with a volume of alrea

Great information Sandy. The primary benefit is steady pressure given my climate. The severe drop in temp can cause an already low tire to lose poundage to the extent the bead breaks free resulting i

Funny! "Asperations" ;-) However, if I were that concern about the dealer's profits, why would we haggle over the price? Because it has already been marked-up to account for it, and your skills. Jus

A better solution would be helium, as it might make the car a little lighter. I don't recommend the use of hydrogen. Ask the Hidenberg guys! Steve That would bring a whole new meaning to 'Light up yo

Actually hydrogen is fine until you mix in Oxygen. The Hindenburg had more problems with the aluminized nitrate doping on the fabric; can you say rocket fuel. The hydrogen probably slowed the burn r

Ahh but Helium is a smaller molecule and like the Nitrogen sales pitch says it won't leak out through the porous tire and bead ;) How about Argon, another easy to get gas at the welding supply, but I

I did some back of the envelope calculations on this Nitrogen thing. Based on the ideal gas law (PV=mRT) my understanding is your tire pressure will vary in proportion to temperature regardless of wh

Yes, it's not the gas type it the water content as Tod said. I think nitrogen is a gas that became popular since several companies make extraction systems that can take it from air and 'filter' out t
