as for nitrogen weighing less i have no frigging clue. the advantages of running nitrogen is that there is less fluxuation when hot and cold like oxygen. i dont think it is a huge diff. so i just run good ol` air in my tires.(friday)

thanks for the comments guys. you know, I hate those mudflaps too. I would really like to remove them, but please understand I LIVE IN GOD DAMN IT CANADA NAMELY CALGARY, WHERE WE HAVE SNOW FROM SEPT TO APR! -40 DEGRESS WITH 2-3 FEET OF SNOW!!


I would like to lose these mudflaps anytime but this is my daily driver and I have to put these in to keep my car in good condition to prevent from salt and gravel and s***!!!


You guys down in the southern part WOULD NOT understand what a set of mudflaps would make a difference here in CANADA!!

so DO NOT FLAME! I hate those too, but it's such a pain to remove them and put them on again during the year. They are practical and I KNOW MY CAR LOOK GREAT WITHOUT THEM!


Mudflaps to me is like Ladies Bra.... Ladies looks good without them, but sorry, the bra is simply practical and THEY HAVE TO PUT THEM ON!!!

Oh yes, the two valve stems are for nitrogen. It suppose to perform better when you are racing or in extreme conditions, which maintain a more stable pressure than the oxygen.

Nice wheels Hilda! Come out to a meet this year or book time off for MITM this year on August 28th.

As far as the nitrogen inflation is concerned, there's little, if any, difference between that and air... Earth's air is aproximatly 78% nitrogen, anyway. As far as the reasoning, is that the nitrogen won't bleed off pressure as quickly, and is more thermally stable, and won't fluctuate as much when the rubber is heated, causing less thermal expansion and so forth. In case you were wondering.

Nice wheels, by the way. =)

ok, i get the nitrogen stability point. but whoever thinks your tires are full of oxygen is full of it.

always liked those rims...I took this pic in a autocross, love the look keep it clean

Yep, if your tires were full of oxygen instead of atmosphere (78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 1% Trace Elements), you'd have to worry about blowouts, since pure oxygen fuels fires. =) Can you imagine a car fire where, when the tires went out, there were huge fireballs popping from every four corners of the car? That would suck muchly, despite being entertaining to watch. Hehee.

thats exactly what I am saying, pure O2 = highly compustable!

If I lift the front of my car that high the back wheels are like a foot off the groung to... I have those seam rims though. They look just way to good.. nice choice for a great price...

 

[ChiMSP]

nice. do they have 2 valve stems?

Yeah, WTF is that?

 

[tekkie]

yeah they use it so you can have a guage on there while you inflating the tires so you do it once and its done
