air pressure in tires

[mikeetown]

So,

I'm thinking that my MX-3 is getting slower. As the weeks go on its still great but meh! Then, I decided to check my 195 - 60 - R15 tires air pressure. They are nitgrogen filled and dont look low at all haha. They were about 12lbs low each haha. That is from not checking once since last oct 1st when i bought the winter tires. But ya, I put air in and now my mx-3 feels great

Its the little things haha!!! Just thought I'd share a random moment

I get the same feeling after an oil change.

Nitrogen filled tires are over rated.

I fill my tires with a special mix of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and trace amounts of other gases...

Oh man I've tried that mix. Knocked .2 seconds off my 1/4 mile time.

[mitmaks]

I fill my tires with same gas she uses...

The benefit of nitrogen is that the tire pressure should not fluctuate, so either they were not nitrogen filled or someone did a shitty job of sealing your winter rubber.

Yah they shouldnt fluctuate that much. I lose maybe 1 PSI a month tops. Mostly due to the crazy temperature fluctuations living in Calgary and all.
