[QUOTE="prodigy, post: 766867, member: 232"] Thanks for sharing the website but i cannot help but ridicule the websites claim. Fair enough these nitrogen filled tires are used in Formula 1 and military but frankly, my car is no F1 car, so are the rest of the members here. Besides, i don't own a military plane too and i'm sure nobody here owns too. They should have at least came out with something very constructive and valid with necessary studies to back their claims. So whats the website trying to promote? F1 and military technology which i fail to see how does it help in our everyday life. Why do i think so :- I can accept point 1 whereby they claim the tires won't lose pressure easily PROVIDING if the tires and/or wheels have no damage. 3 months back i changed 2 pcs of tyres and was shocked when the mechanic showed how bengkok my rim was. I swear i've not crash the car or landed very hard on any surface before but why the rim bengkok? Thanks to our road, sometimes you don't even know your rim got damage. No wonder i have to pump air almost every 3 week once. Point 2, nitrogen is indeed an inert gas and doesn't catch fire. Have you guys, in your life seen a tire catch fire due to high speed travelling. In most cases, tires explode due to puncture caused by sharp objects, or because you've exceeded the tire lifespan. Never because the tire is too hot. Point 3, by running your tyres cooler, your tyre life is extended by 20%. Thats the most audacious and bold statement i've ever heard. What, when you tires are cold, the rubber is harder, therefore less wear rate? Even in the wildest dream if this is true, then i'm gonna worry of the traction when the tires are run cool. Lastly, "Feel the difference on the road and in your pocket". It surely burnt a big hole in anyone's pocket after paying RM25 to fill up my 5 tires whereby the only free thing in the world now is atmospheric air(thats used to pump my 5 tires now). Sheesh, and people are queuing up for 2 hours just to save 5 bucks on petrol. [/QUOTE]
