Hello guys
What should be the tires pressure for winter tires?
Thanks
Stef

 

Same as the regular tires.

 

Sweet....this is what I though, friday when I took the car from my dealer with the winter tires mounted I noticed that they looks flat.. pressure 1.6 instead of 2.2

 

I also recommend to change over to the Nitrofil. The tire pressures will stay stable and the tires will last longer.

 

The nirtogen benefits are mostly hype. It's a waste of money to use pure nitrogen instead of "regular air" (which is 78% nitrogen in the first place).

Well, no, that site isn't biasd at all.

They are in business to sell nitrogen. Of course they are going to say it's better. Read the Consumer Reports link that isn't trying to sell you nitrogen. The truth is, there is little to no benefit to the average persons daily driver. You are throwing away money. Regular air already is 78% nitrogen.

 

Nitrofill claims that nitrogen filled tires provide up to a 10% increase in fuel economy. If that were true, nitrogen filled tires would already be mandated by law.

 

LOL!!

Yes, there are some advantages to 100% nitrogen over regular air but those benefits are very slight for the average daily driver. Yes, your tire pressures will be slightly more consistent and your tires will lose slightly less pressure, but the fact is your tires will still lose pressure with 100% nitrogen. So instead of losing 3 psi per year they will lose only 2 psi per year with nitrogen. Bottom line, you still have to monitor your tires pressures.

The price and inconvenience to finding a nitrogen filling station aren't worth the slight benefit. Sure, if you want to do this for the tires on your race car or the landing tires on your space shuttle, it's probably a good idea. For your daily driver, you are just throwing away money.

 

Plus each time you check the pressure you loose air...
