I think the point of “nitrogen” is more that it’s dry and impurity free, vs shop air that can have a lot of moisture and other junk in it. Ever drain an air compressor tank off the water that accumulated inside? They get filthy with rusty water.
- b3morales 4y agoThat's not the pitch that is made for the stuff. And I'm not sure that I've ever heard of rim failure due to filling air moisture being a widespread issue.
- dahfizz 4y ago> That's not the pitch that is made for the stuff. I mean, how often do salespeople understand the technical details of what they are selling?
- JustSomeNobody 4y agoTrue. But you almost never see any significant amount of that in tires.
- mnahkies 4y agoThat's true, although you should be draining them to remove water frequently enough (just to keep it in good health) that I wouldn't have thought it'd make much of a difference
- LorenPechtel 4y agoDraining the water doesn't mean what comes out isn't at 100% humidity--and thus can condense out water if the temperature drops enough. (Which doesn't mean that it isn't total overkill to use nitrogen rather than just dry air.)
