Can Nitrogen and Air Be Mixed in Tires?

[LeHayden]

They can be mixed. Here are the details: 1. Introduction 1: When inflating tires with nitrogen, the air inside should be evacuated, ideally to near-vacuum conditions, to ensure the highest purity of the nitrogen being filled. 2. Introduction 2: Since oxygen in the air can easily react with gases released from the tire under high temperatures, potentially causing an explosion, other gases are needed to eliminate the risk of a tire blowout. 3. Introduction 3: From a molecular diameter perspective, nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules, making them less likely to leak from the tire.
