Usually once per week when I fuel up the cars.

Anyone here use nitrogen?

Since you brought nitrogen up, I have a question from a retiree. Is it true that there are pump charges everytime for pumping tyres on nitrogen ?

Between RM60-80 depending on the place you pump. Some will charge to topup but most don't if you are a regular customer.

Thanks mate. It was a question from a retired school teacher and will be glad to pass the message to her. I didn't know that there were such charges but what is the benefit of having them tyres filled with nitrogen ?

Nitrogen is lighter, some say better fuel economy and car performance but considering it is only 3-5% lighter I'm doubtful on this.

The other is it is less sensitive to temperature changes as well as it stays consistent once you pump it. Useful for those who always drives up to highland areas.

Hmm you brought up an interesting point. Temperature changes. I wonder if the normal occurances of tyres bursting on big heavy vehicles especially on the highways is due to temperature changes at higher speeds than the approved speed limit for such vehicles ?

It is a possibility but more likely the reason is the tire is a badly worn retread aka celup tayar and frequently most lorries are overloaded by at least 30% of their maximum permitted axle weight.
