Filling Nitrogen in Tyres

Dharmesh,
Filling nitrogen is a good idea.
During our 5000 km trips (two such trips), nitrogen did help us to drive without worrying about air pressure variation in different road conditions throughout the trip.
Regarding regular usage, last time I checked tyre pressure was 2.5 months ago. It is almost like fill it and forget it with nitrogen.

@Dharmesh, Hey nice trip in Punto man !!
@Autosafari, it is nice to hear that from you, but to be frank I am really confused and not convinced on the usage of Nitrogen till now. In a regular city use will that help ?
What is the right way of using Nitrogen?
If we found nitrogen is less in one of the tyres after filling with nitrogen and we are on a state highway where nitrogen is not available, then what shall we do ?
Is that nitrogen filling is good for the tyres? if so why the car manufacturers are not recommending it ?
Sorry for too many questions and also if few of them are stupid !!

@Gurrala saab :
I topuped Nitrogen for my Whitey before 3months & I totally forgot to check again. Last Saturday I checked the Nitrogen believe me there was no change in type pressure.
If you not found any nitrogen air stations in highways just fill the ordinary air and refill the full tyre when you got nitrogen thats it.
Most of the towns and cities have MRF showrooms there we can get Nitrogen air.
Once my Blacky was punctured in Cuddalore but I didn't get Nitrogen so I filled ordinary air. Once I reached Pondy I found MRF showroom and refilled the full tyre.

@Appu,
Thank you for the clarifications, Now I am bit convinced to use Nitrogen, I will fill with Nitrogen the moment I find one on my way !!
Is that Nitrogen filling gives has any positive effect of car behavior on the road grip wise or handling wise

Car manufacturers simply wants cost cutting. For them, they will have to compell every ASS to install nitrogen machine s, then comes machine's maintainance.
When new car is delivered, all 5 tires will have to be nitrogen filled in free of cost (200 rs) which they use to give some freebies eg.mud flaps now a days. Also if tire gets puncture on way to home, owner calls back and ask n' number of queries related to nitrgen.
I am posting a snap of a nitrogen machine , which mentions merits of nitrogen.

I think it is always better to get tyres nitrogen filled for long drives and tours. Will definitely help to maintain the tyre normal temperature.
Hi friends
I have swift vdi. I have filled nitrogen air pressure in my car tyres.
So, I want to ask that In long journey or in highway journey after how many hours should check the air pressure of tyre because before putting the nitrogen air pressure. I was using normal air pressure in my car tyres. At that time in long journey after 12 hours
I use to check air pressure of tyre which was increases but in nitrogen does it increase or not. Please reply.

Yes, it will increase in case of nitrogen also.
Air or nitrogen, both should be checked and filled in when the tires are cold.

It will increase than after how many hours should I check the tyre. Please reply.

Touch the rims, if they are normal to touch, check the pressure. If they are warm or hot, it is possible that the gauge might misguide you.
Doesnt nitrogen constitute 78% of air? If it does, then when we are filling normal air, we are getting almost 80% of nitrogen in our tyres anyways.
Nitrogen is lighter than air. The major constituent of air after nitrogen is O2, which makes the air heavy and it also contributes to hotness of the air.
In conclusion, nitrogen is 20 %lighter and 20% colder than air. So Nitrogen is 20 % better than air in general.

@Tornado - Following is the composition of air -
Air is a mixture of 78.03% nitrogen, 20.99% oxygen, 0.94% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide, 0.01% hydrogen, 0.00123% Neon, 0.0004% helium, 0.00005% krypton and 0.000006% xenon.
@Sam Dinkar - you are right. No significant difference between filling nitrogen or air as air is almost 80% nitrogen, oxygen is not significantly heavier than nitrogen considering the volume of gas held in tyres.
its just another automobile fad to fool innocent people.
