Traior tire pressure

[CPseudonym]

In airplanes it is used because it wont support combustion. 225 psi and glowing carbon brakes can do some bad things. I had a rejected takeoff at max gross after an engine rollback, the glowing brakes caused the fuse plugs to blow....you wouldn't want O2 blasting against a glowing brake. All four tires had to be rejected/ replaced along with the inner rims.......which are magnesium....yikes. Brakes were still good!

From your lips to God's ears...

Nitrogen has its place in tire inflation but standard automotive applications is not it. Automotive tire shops haven't got a clue what the proper procedure is to fill a tire with nitrogen in the first place.

Kenn;

You are one of few who do stop and check jus tlike me. A ounce of prevention goes a long way. I stopped to get gas once at a mom and pop gas station out in the boonies. After 10 miles I stopped to check strap and tires. I found a putty tat in the boat and returned to the store. Turned out it was the store cat who always did take a ride.
