Default Re: Using Nitrogen in Vintage Tires?.

We have been using it in the tires on the road race cars for years for a few reasons:

1. Is the negligible moisture content. No condensation with the heating and cooling of the the tires.

2. It heats up much more evenly than air and your pressures come up likewise. Once you get used to it, your tire pressure is more predictible.

3. With me vintage racing, I can run down to the local welding supply and get 3 cylinders for the weekend. I not only use it for the tires but will run my air tools off of it in the garage at the race track. You just need a regulator set up for this application.
