RE: Nitrogen in Tires
ORIGINAL: SG 1
Check out getnitrogen.com for some facts. It won't hurt to top off with compressed air.
I actually sell the machines and I believe it has some benefit. The main thing isa more constant tire pressure. It leaks out 3 to 4 times slower than compressed air because of the bigger molecule.Nitrogen doesn't have the moisture.
You guys can say what you want. I don't really think its that big a deal. I'm not running it in any of my vehicles, not even the scoot, but to say there is no benefit, snake oil, well.............

Nitrogen is a smaller molecule. It has a lower molecular/atomic weight - In other words, it is a smaller molecule. In addition, Oxygen is normally found in our atmosphere as a 2 atom compound which will have twice the weight indicated, further reducing the validity of the chemical being smaller than Nitrogen.
just thought I would throw that in too.
See below:

Old dragracer trick.keeps tires pressure more consistent.My rkc came thru smokey mountain harley.Guess they do this becuase the weather In mountains can fluxuate like crazy.pressures pressure as for air to nitrogetn will not hurt a thing.
