Hi NC, I faced a similar issue and i managed to buy a nice and reliable guage from my tire dealer. Cost me INR 450/- manufactured and calibrated by Bridgestone.

Look around and you shall find one. Most tire dealers stock them.

I can post a pic of the guage for you in a day or two if u need.

All the best.

pune guys is there any place near kothrud, deccan where N2 filling is available ?

Go to the dealer you got your Bridgestone's fitted from, there is a new scheme going on in which Bridgestone are giving away a quite nice Tyre Pressure gauge in a nicely packed Plastic case et al. I got one for free recently (and without purchasing anything ;)) so you should tell him to give one to you too, since you just bought tyres from them.

Appears to be the very same guage which i was sold for 450 bucks. :mad: but this was last november so i am guessing this scheme is rolled out only now.

delhi boys where are you?? anyone know any place other than hemkunt jangpura?? as they dont have it anymore!! cant suvive without it 1ce you've got it!!

Give me a call tomorrow, I'll try & find you an outlet.

Ive been driving on Nitrogen Tires for a little more than a year now. My views:
1) The braking has improved. Its more smoother now, if you know what i mean.
2) Ride quality is top notch. Even during last monsoons, the car was very much in control,thanks to the firm-hold of the tires.
3) Get the pressure checked every month without fail. It drops.
4) Nitrotires are HIGHLY recommended on highways.
5) The correct pressure for Nitro is about 2-3 PSI lesser than regular Air.
6) Like NC stated above, stick to one place for refilling. Else, you will be dis-satisfied with the fluctuations of the pressure.
7) Nitro is more-or-less useless on Tubetype Tires. Dont waste your money.
8) And lastly, if you are still driving on Air, please do yourself a favor and fill up Nitrogen. It Dopes.;)

Hope this helps.

I am running on N2 for a few months now & its nice, but i dont see any major difference in ride, handling like it is being put up here (Or maybe i am stupid). Yes, one advantage is that even after 80 odd days , the pressure has not dropped at all. :thumbs up

Any outlet in Delhi?

no luck yet ive been having wxams will try and find one after they get over!!

Dhruv i saw an advert in the newspaper saying Tyre shoppee in noida has Nitrogen for cars now!

hey aza! thats cool i need n2 mann that stuff is addictive! where is tyre shoppee??

My experience too :)

Dhruv its in sector 5 i think just before nimbus hyundai service center. Drive straight down from Indian Oil building

Don't we get it anywhere in South Delhi? Driving down to NOida, is that the only option??
