CHECK TYRE PRESSURES WHEN COLD AND "NEVER" REDUCE THE TYRE PRESSURE OF A WARM TYRE AS WILL BE HIGHLY INACURATE

Hi all ,
Just had 4 new Michelin Energy savers 205/65/15 fitted to my estate with nitrogen gas that was the size on the old tyres and marked in the owners manual.

Tell me about the nitrogen gas in the tyres. I have heard of this every now and again, but whats the benefit?

I Had Heard about it to so i thought why not 4 new tyres try the nitrogen see what difference it made i also read this http://www.uniflate.com/benefits-of-nit ... -inflation but there are all sorts of conflicting opinions.

Really nice pictures there, you have 3 stunning Xms Especially the grey one, thats lovely.

I have nitrogen in my tyres (my tyre place always puts it in with new tyres). The tyres lose less pressure over time and there is less of a change in pressure with increase/decrease in temperatures. So tyre wear is supposed to remain more even.

No idea how true this is, if you keep an eye on pressures there isnt really any need.

BIt of a pain having to go to the tyre shop to get a wee blast of air put in, but if it negates the need to do that, then its no problem. But air is about 80% nitrogen anyway...

That has the bosch fuel pump, perfect for running on veg oil.

Robert, hope you don't mind if I continue this thread!

Just a few pics, I'll put up a few more when I go home and wash and polish it!
