Pamper Your Tires With N And Pump Xtra Premium

[harshansenadhir]

@ harshansenadhir :

I guess the non-bumpy part is due to the lower pressure (31 instead of 33). Have you tried 33 psi normal air before?

if you followed the thread closely you would know that yes, ran 28 and 33 on all four corners with normal air

sorry for pulling this tread again. I pumped Nitrogen y'day and so far im happy with it. and the Kohuwala IOC shed has reduced the price of nitrogen filling. they charged me 20/ per tire and no free refilling for the next 3 months and no free tire pressure checking!

U wanna try??? You got the nearest specimen to try it out…

That's the one. The attendant said Rs.200/- (should be per tyre, can't be for all 4 wheels)

Am I missing something here????

No machan 200 for all 4 tyres. I asked them and also free pressure check for 3 months included. anyways what do you guys thinking about filling N ?

Hi Harshan,

Are you still using Nitrogen? How is your long term evaluation?

(from what I was reading online, the advantage of N is not that it leaks less, but will contain little or no water vapour)

I recently pumped N2 from the Kohuwala shed, and felt that there was an improvement in ride comfort when riding over roads with small potholes. It cannot be a placebo effect since my wife said she also felt the same

Well I'm sure the placebo effect is not relegated to just one person Anyways, no comments as I haven't tried it. But this slightly long article should be very interesting reading to anyone who is in favour or against Nitrogen pumping:

I'd say at same PSI, N2 filled tires feel quite tough and hard, but it provides good handling and more stable than normal air. But oh my god, the ride comfort on normal profile tires is impossible! As someone mentioned before, yes like going without shock absorbers... This was on a friends Mazda2 btw.

Placebo effect=

AZ: Do you feel anything different in the bumpiness of the car? I just pumped a new gas.

Mrs.AZ: yeah, i think it feels smoother

Non placebo =

Mrs. AZ: Did you do something to the car? It feels mroe comfortable...

AZ: Yes I pumped a new gas into the wheels.

According to the laws of physics, the bumble bee cannot fly. But the bumble bee doesn't know this, and flies anyway.

I'll stick with good old air. It's cheaper. Plus it's been proven for years!

Yeah, it was similar to your first scenario but what the heck, it cost only Rs. 120 for all 4 tires, and at least it makes me feel good There are not many things you can get for 120 Rs

Right, now that this highway is in regular use, have any regular highway users tried the switch to nitrogen? Beneficial?

[NadriquE]

havent used the highway yet but got N for tyres. dont know abt fuel consumption it sure feels less bumpy and smooth
