Does anybody know who is doing nitrogen tyre fills, H*******s used to do it they called Uniflate but since A* took the the service centres over they have taken it out.

If you did not know, having nitrogen instead of air increases tyre life as it does not heat therefore the tyre does not become soft and wear so much, they use it in aircraft tyres and I am told in the motor racing industry.

When I had my last tyres fitted, it said 'nitrofill' on the invoice and I wondered what the h e l l it was at first :huh: :D

As a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer , I can assure you that nitrogen does heat up, we use it in the tyres as it is inert, where as air isnt.
