Ok, you guys go for pure N2....I'll stay with air (~80% N2 in any case)...

 

Like I said rather waste your money on something else!!

....snipsnip

 

nitrogen is used in aircraft tyres and ....snipsnip... coz it does not expand as much when temp goes up , thus keeping tyre pressure at the same pressure as the tyres heat up . aircraft use it due to altittude change as the pressure does not increase and burst the tyre at high alt .

 

 

 

 

I'm not a scientest so will not try and argue about the properties of gasses even if i think you got it wrong etc... but the reason story about bursting due to expansion and altitude change is definetly vegiterian food incorrect.

 

I've seen plenty aircraft tyres filled with normal compressor air that have survived the trip into the troposphere.

I'm still at a loss for the meaning of a puddle jumper.
