Default Re: Ultimate Tyre Theory

Very true, good point! They also use nitrogen in racing tires as well as aircraft. Although I would still prefer carying a pump for public use then buying nitrogen cylinders. Mainly because I wear tread way before the tire becomes brittle and I do not need the high traction stability nitrogen causes at various temp & humidity levels on the street.

Could a cheap, easy means of nitrogen extraction be devised for home use?
