I had some tire work done at Costco last Saturday and they filled my tires with Nitrogen. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) They swear by it. Says it is way more stable than just regular old air. Anybody using nitrogen in their tires? Is there a noticable difference? Eddy

My buddy had a couple huge tanks of nitrogen in his race car trailer. Used it in his tires but mainly, it ran the built in jacks in the racecar.
The jacks needed like 250 psi to work, so an air compressor was out of the question. He also used it to power a giant impact wrench used for the centerlock nut on the wheels. That big nut needed like 350 lbs of torque. |
