Nitrogen filled tires.

I run it in my trailer tires. haven't really seen any difference, maybe a little cooler, but I haul heavy equip. if you get a flat you can air up with air and it wont cause a problem. the only difference I have seen is I don't have to air tires up to pressure as often as before. the cost doesn't really justify doing it though.

 

I'd like to know how they purge ALL the non-nitrogen out in order to make sure they're 100% nitrogen. Otherwise, regular air is already 78% nitrogen to begin with.

 

the only way would be to fill , let out and fill and let out, unless it was originally mounted in a nitrogen atmosphere room, moisture is the problem , nitrogen doesn't have the moisture content of regular air, remove the moisture , a moisture filter on a regular compressor,(like used for painting guns, will do about the same thing

 

I only have ran nitrogen in my personal car, Costco fills with Nitrogen. I havent really noticed a difference except never having to add air.
For a tractor/trailer I havent seen or had experience with it.

 

I fill with 21% oxygen , 78% nitrogen and 1% a mixture of Argon, carbon dioxide, Helium etc.

As the other gases permeate through the rubber quicker I figure Ill just over inflate by 22% then let the impurities leak out.
Ill be left with almost 100% nitrogen.
Hows that for an idea?

 

IMO, it's an unnecessary expense. You do own a tire gage, and because you're a professional driver- you actually use it upon occasion, yes?

Then you shouldn't have a problem with underinflated tires. Those are the ones that get hot. And cause blowouts - if you're not running over road debris.

A properly inflated (or even overinflated) tire doesn't get hot, beyond the design limits of the tire. And if it's at the right pressure, you don't need 22% MORE nitrogen in your tire.

 

You must be a cryogenic hauler!
