Nitrogen tyres

I READ with interest that one of your readers was only getting 58,000km from a set of tyres filled with nitrogen. I drive a 1998 Mitsubishi Verada and my tyres have nitrogen in them and I have covered more than 40,000km on this set, and they are still like new. He must drive his car hard or in rough conditions.

HAVE you done back-to-back testing with tyres inflated with air compared to tyres that are inflated with nitrogen? That's the only way you can accurately determine the effect of the nitrogen as an inflation medium. Most tyre experts will tell you nitrogen makes no difference under normal driving conditions.
