The did that with footballs and hylium. All I know is when I put hydrogen
into my tires, my are is 35% lighter.

That is my story and I am sticking to it.



helium.

but, surely you jest. Hydrogen?

Richard,
Don made a minor fax paux and said Hydrogen, when he meant to say
Nitrogen. Since Hydrogen is flammable and would never be used in a
tire, I made a little joke about the benefit of hydrogen making the car
lighter, reducing wear and tear on your tires and suspension.

I was curious about the reason for nitrogen and it appears the real
reason for nitrogen instead of air is nitrogen will not lose pressure as
quickly as air. Since all tire mfg'ers still recommend you check your
tire pressure monthly, wither you use air or nitrogen, it really is
snake oil to increase the profit margin of the dealer.

And it was the best thread in a month!
