Question

Is nitrogen good for motorcycle tires?

Answer 1

not worth the cost difference, air is pretty much free...

Answer 2

Yes, if you're going to leave your motorcycle sitting in a storage unit for 20 years.  If you're going to be riding your motorcycle, you'll wear out the tires from riding long long before oxygen within the tires reacts with the tire to ruin it.

Answer 3

I have never had a problem with it

Answer 4

the advantage with nitrogen is it doesn't change pressure with the air temp. or heat generated by the tire thats why it is used in race car tires if they  put in 15 psi it stays just about there

it's fine to use

Answer 5

Not good or bad. It is an intert gas Oxygen isnt, but doesnt do anything to rubber.

High Atlitude aircraft (jets) use it in their tires to prevent freezing of water at high altitudes(cold) (no water in pure nitrogen gas, pressurized "air" has water in it)

Answer 6

NO! not good it cause's dry rot There's no moister in nitrogen, just like leaving it lay out in the sun tire will start cracking & fall apart in 2 or 3 years

Answer 7

The advantage of pure nitrogen is no pressure loss. Air is about 70% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. Oxygen can permeate tires over time which is why your tires get a bit soft after a month or so.

Answer 8

I think it is over rated, unless you are racing, the pressure in the tire will stay constant at high temps. The air is 78% nitrogen taking it to 100% will have little effect on a street tire.  

Use Helium it makes your biker lighter. LOL

Answer 9

its good for any tires. Helps them last a little longer. no moisture will build up on the inside
