Filling your tyres with nitrogen

Post by Alison01326 » Tue Mar 16, 2010 12:48 am

Anyone done it? Anyone thinking about doing it?

I'm not, because I doubt there's anyone round here who could oblige with the nitrogen, but I know how much you all like tyre talk :wink:

But think off the fun you would have removing them when they needed replacing. :)

Expanding foam! lol we do actually put a sealant in the cars we convert to LPG which stops punctures...

It's full of fresh air, at no more than atmospheric pressure.

And a load of rubber shavings.

Pretty impressive. I remember seeing that on TV. Was it Jeremy Clarkson in Iceland, or something?
