Re: Nitrogen gas?
you have to pay for nitrogen.
compressed air is free at the petrol station. just check tyre pressure every week or so when you top up your fuel.
imho, nitrogen is unnecessary expense unless you drive under extreme conditions (like at the track) where you need consistent and accurate tyre pressure. nitrogen is more stable - inert gas that leaks less. won't go into details.
just my 2 cents.

Re: Nitrogen gas?
dude, nothing is free, and from what i have seen, all the guys in leong seng are straight (so your handsome-ness not going to work lah).
so if you do not see it on your bill, it's air you have in your tyres. and nitrogen inflated tyres would most likely have a sticker on them.
on the other hand if you find a tyre shop with female mechanics, pls let me be the first to know. i'll purposely deflate my tyres everyday and go there to re-inflate.

Re: Nitrogen gas?
The critical thing for any tire gas is that it be dry. Atmospheric air, as long as dehumidified, will work to maintain a more constant pressure across a wider range of temperatures. What tire shops use to lubricate the bead and edge of the rim as they mount tires can affect this greatly. There are other factors to consider, but they do not really become important till you get to much more developed and specific levels far beyond street applications.

Re: Nitrogen gas?
our air contains 2/3 nitrogen gas and yes you can mix them,only thing is reducing the percentage of nitrogen gas inside your tyre.
if this is your liking distance and trouble wont be problem,.
checking of tyre pressure is still a must as usual and will find you no need to add gas like before with normal air.,anyway i dont thing lighten weight make any different

Re: Nitrogen gas?
i also thinking our atmospheric air already contain so much nitrogen, why pay to get a little bit more?
If Nitrogen is so lasting, wouldn't the rest of the non nitrogen air escape from the tire 1st, leaving mostly nitrogen in the tires? Meaning that after a long time, my tires will naturally have a higher concentration of nitrogen??

Re: Nitrogen gas?
you are right after you pumping your tyre for 10 time or 1 yr later ,you mayhave almost all nitro,but you have not enjoy the 1 of the benefit that is nitro does not need to pump so often.
anyway it is all individual preference,just like installing all optioanl items on your car.

Re: Nitrogen gas?
I was just at SPC kiosk, East Coast Road, and got Michelin people there giving free tyre check and souvenirs (including valve caps & umbrella - golf type). Spoke to a French guy who is based in Malaysia. He professed, "nitrogen is marketing gimmick, to get you to go back to shop on regular basis". He explained that he had experience in racing, and nitrogen to him made no diff. I mentioned about nitrogen making it lighter, and he replied again, no diff.
