This guide will explain the pros and cons of putting nitrogen in your tires.
Modern examples of airless tires for bicycles include BriTek's Energy Return Wheel, [21] an airless bicycle tire from Bridgestone, [22] the tire pictured to the right on a Mobike, and solid tires discussed below. Although modern airless tires are better than early ones, most give a rough ride and may damage the wheel or bicycle.
The requirement that an inert gas, such as nitrogen, be used instead of air for inflation of tires on certain transport category airplanes was prompted by at least three cases in which the oxygen in air-filled tires had combined with volatile gases given off by a severely overheated tire and exploded upon reaching autoignition temperature. The ...
Analytical chemistry: Nitrogen generators are required for various forms of analytical chemistry such as liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and gas chromatography where a stable and continuous supply of nitrogen is necessary. Aircraft & motor vehicle tires: Although air is 78% nitrogen, most aircraft tires are filled with pure nitrogen ...
Pneumatic tires also have a much lower rolling resistance than solid tires. Because the internal air pressure acts in all directions, a pneumatic tire is able to "absorb" bumps in the road as it rolls over them without experiencing a reaction force opposite to the direction of travel, as is the case with a solid (or foam-filled) tire.

As the study notes, “Comparing real-world tailpipe particulate mass emissions to tire wear emissions, both in ‘normal’ driving, the latter is actually around 1,850 times greater than the ...
Nov. 8—Are studless winter tires better than their studded rivals? It's a crucial question each year for many Alaskans, but especially this week in Anchorage, after the season's first major ...
Most pumps use carbon dioxide and standard-threaded 16g CO 2 canisters. Carbon dioxide leaks out of a rubber inner tube more rapidly than air - despite its larger molecule size, the CO 2 molecule is significantly more soluble than Oxygen and Nitrogen in rubber and as such can cause a tire to deflate far quicker than if filled with air.
