Silver GS pulled up, nice chat, thanks for the tip on putting Nitrogen in the tyres - got mine done there free too - all you need to do now is join up - details on the card i gave you.
Nitro in your tyres? Free? ay?

What the hell does Nitro in the tyres do?

Yeah,when i had my new alloys they put nitrogen in?
Increased Fuel Efficiency – Correct tire pressure keeps the manufacturer's recommended “contact patch” on the road. This lessens the rolling resistance and maximizes fuel efficiency. Read On (http://www.getnitrogen.org/sub.php?view=cheaper)...
Longer Tire Life – When it comes in contact with other materials, oxygen causes oxidation. Oxidation can make rubber brittle and cause it to lose tensile strength. In addition, at high temperatures and pressures, oxygen reacts and damages inner tire liners and belt packages; nitrogen does not. Read On (http://www.getnitrogen.org/sub.php?view=greener)...
Increased Safety – Under-inflated tires cause 90% of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential. Read On (http://www.getnitrogen.org/sub.php?view=safer)...
Other benefits:
Improved TPMS Performance – If you have a new car, you likely are plagued by a flashing light telling you your tire pressure is low. For example, one woman's light was going off every four to five weeks. After inflating with nitrogen, her light didn't reappear for 53 weeks!
More Predictable Pressure Fluctuation – NASCAR teams use nitrogen so they can more accurately predict tire pressure fluctuation. Regular compressed air can fluctuate considerably when water vapor is present. Read On (http://www.getnitrogen.org/sub.php?view=nascar)...
Longer Rim Life – Rim rust caused by condensation from water vapor and other gases can get caught in valves and create slow leaks in tires. Nitrogen is completely dry, so it eliminates the potential for condensation.

Well, I never.
:)
this has been discussed recently (http://www.ftooc.org/forum/showthread.php?46466-Nitrogen-tyre-inflation&highlight=)and the cat said its all a load of b0ll0cks

Well at least it didn't cost anything. Can't say i notice any difference in ride so i supose time will tell with pressure maintenance.
