Nitrogen VS. Air in tires....

[liferider]

Propane -- NO WAY -- got enough explosive material on the bike now -- can't imagine a blow out with a flameable gas!
Pure Nitrogen holds marginally better for normal use.
For high performance use it can help eliminate water (condensation) that is in the air and can make more of a change when racing and tires are really hot.

And don't forget while we are at it as it is going to be riding season soon -- Change your blinker fluid (in the cars too)

Back when I was rodeoing , I was leaving the arena. I was behind one of the stock contractors triple axle goose neck carrying bucking bulls. About a mile down the road one of the tires exploded and lifted the left side of the trailer a foot or so with a nice size fireball. I was like wtf!! I pulled over. Turns out the truck runs off propane and he had a 80’ air hose with a tire chuck he would quick couple on side of the tank and fill and top off his truck and trailer tires!!!!

Nitrogen only works better if you have 100 degree temperature changes multiple times in a day


Takeoff from Phoenix (100 plus) and climb to altitude 37000ft Msl and -40 degree or colder. Multiple times a day and normal air expansion and contraction results in lots of condensation and ice build up inside the tires and an instant out of balance at touchdown 150mph.

So unless you are heating up your tires to excessive temperature changes it's a waste

Usually, I pull over and cook my eggs on Highway Over Easy. Nice info.

If that were the case you can just use dry air. Nothing to do with Nitrogen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but dry will rise with the heat, where nitro won't as much. So even though dry is with less water down to the microns of filtering out the wet... oh well (pun).
