Default Re: Using Nitrogen in Vintage Tires?.

I really don't think it would be very cost effective or beneficial for vintage tires.
I could understand it in newer repops though,but they would have to be driven daily constantly.
You would have to drive a considerable sum of annual miles on any tire that is filled with nitrogen to see any kind of advantage.Most Vintage 30+ tires I see are mounted on cars in collections used as Paperweights,actual Survivors or Trailer Queens and only for brief showings cause they ain't very reliable for daily driving anyway being so old.
Once dry rot has set in,the nitrogen advantage would'nt matter or make a difference.
I would just continue to add commonly availble air when needed to both.
