Mr J T, have you also considered the mess you could get in whilst driving along the road with a slow leaky puncture on the front tyre. 😂. Then getting pulled up by the police.

Nice one, I like a good joke and even better a laugh. That also just reminds me to reply to a post put up MR J T today.

Nice read, enjoyed that. To add a bit extra onto your sentence on expansion, I’m sure you know that it can be calculated, but it appears you mean you will not see it on a forecourt chart for many reasons of the amount of variables involved. This is a topic that may not be closed for many...

Who is to say there are no scientists on this topic already! I see there are allot of intelligent people on this site mate, and assuming means one is postulating without documented (backed by released paper) fact. Please publish the school of thought! I expect to see at the very least air...

I owned my own Ford Explorer in Sugarland way back 2006. Loved the vehicle, the climate, everything. I did notice there was little corrosion on the vehicles there so I assume less humidity than over here. Tried to get a green card so I could live near Padre Island 😆, or Beach Bay in Louisiana to...

There is always a certain amount of moisture in air; called humidity.

I think we may be off course a bit on what we are both thinking about. The tyres on my car change up to 5 psi from cold to hot, I can see them going up as i’m driving, and it makes a difference on overall wear, these are Pirelli Zero’s so does not get any better. Ordinary air does hold well on...

If you can stabilise pressures under different temperatures (rain, snow, sunshine) by using nitrogen surely that has to be good for long term tyre wear and of course safety. Most of my driving is now fairly local, but my tyres still wear. Also what about the corrosion to rubber that oxygen at...

Thats not very fair. Slip 2 rears inconspicuously in the post mate.

I'm trying to switch it off ;)

STEER away from tyre failures! 😂

Continentals for vans are much more expensive that just about any other make I can think of. Ive got 86k miles on 3 of them, and still going strong. Are you sure about Pirelli Zero’s being ****. They use them on racing cars, Porsche fit only these tyres on 911’s. 4 cost me £1500

For my tyres I cannot buy any better, Pirelli's and Continentals are the best on the market for car and van, and the Pirelli's are now a mess after only about 6 years, and only about 2k miles. Air does heat up as the tyre turns on the ground, I can watch my pressures increase on each tyre by 1...

My van is only 55 lbs loaded (45 lbs unloaded) so a big difference to your RV. When looking up nitrogen it appears the molecules are larger so less seepage thru the tyre rubber, and no oxidisation. I think it could be interesting, but top up with air and your back to square one as the air we...

I've been having a scan on the internet for relevant info on tyre degradation. Some interesting stuff came out (link below) as most info points toward UV, under-use and generally the stuff that people have been posting above. I get tyre degradation problems on my many vehicles as they sit...

I thought it was interesting as I do not know any better. Maybe some more posts on that particular subject would be a good thing.

Now that was interesting as it’s the first time I’ve got off my ar*se to check tyre codes. Trigger‘s (photo) back tyre (photo) says 4915, and would be correct as I fitted it about early 2016. But I think there could be an anomaly here as 49th week 2015 would be the manufacturing code date, not...

Well spotted 😂

I’ll need to check mine out, I like a bit of speed so getting worried now.

i was in Arizona few years ago and drove up to the Chevy place at Winslow, and the amount of peoples relatives you hear of registering their cars at Winslow was incredible, and guess what there was no yearly test there. Some of the vehicles were hanging all over the place up there.
