Re: Nitrogen Tires
I should clarify: Some race teams use nitrogen because they THINK it expands
less when heated.

Race teams use nitrogen because:
1.it comes in a nice pressurized tank,easy to move to the pit area,needs no
external power source like a compressor.
2.It's dry,contains no water.
3.Possible thermal considerations.(Heat -conduction-,not expansion)
4.cost is less than other gases??

The race team I crew on, we use a pressurized tank that is filled from the
same compressor in the trailer that runs the air tools - for your reason #1,
you can take it to the pits. Regular old air. Costs less than nitrogen,
that's for sure. In fact, I don't see anyone using nitrogen, except for
the Ferrari team.
