Re: Helium ?
It's true- the nitrogen gimmick is pretty much that- a gimmick. <br /><br /> The aircraft industry has used nitrogen for a long time because of its properties- bottled nitrogen is dry so it won't corrode wheels, it's inert so it won't burn in a fire and it doesn't exhibit the same expansion/contraction that you see with our atmospheric mix. The only real benefit to the auto driver is that it is a larger molecule than oxygen and it will stay in your tires a little longer, but most people will NEVER notice a difference. <br /><br /> It's a gimmick, no more, no less. <br /><br />UFM82<br /><br />Pretty smart on Chip Wood's part though, huh?
