just incase u cant find the station their tel no is:24361301,24361358 (written on the pamphleti got when got tyre niro filled)

some adv written on the pamphlet are:

Low Thermal Conductivity of Ntrogen
Nitro doesnt expand due to heat, therefore in summer or at hih speed, the tyre does not expand or burst due to inc in temp.

Due to high thermal coeff of expansion, nitrogen derives a stable nature. therefore, the gas does not expand due to inc in temp and hence does not exert pressure on internal wall of the tyre. it gives longer life to tyre.

The nitro gas does no contract due to low temp. thus the tyre rubber does not contract. therefore for the life of the tyre rubber increases.

Also as the tyre rubber remains softer( elastic) because of low expansion and contraction, the breaking of tyre is improved due to improved road grip.

Advantages of nitrogen gas

As the elastic property of tyre rubber is intact, the tyre does not skid on turns. the tyre makes less noise on turns.
Usage of nitrogen gas in tyre "increase the tyre life by 20-25% & fuel saving by 6-10%.

Al F1 and racing cars use nitro in tyre for better road grip, driving comfort and safety

Nitro is lighter than air in weight. Usage of nitrogen gas in wheels dec overall weight of the vehicle and hence inc fuel efficiency

The size of nitrogen gas molecules is 4 times bigger than air molecules therefore incase of puncture, the nitrogen gas escapesvery slowly from the tyre thus giving more time to drive a punctured tyre.

the advantages quoted are way too optimistic but aint a bad deal for 15 bucks will try it out soon
