Hey #PDArmy, what do you fill in your tyres? Let us know below and hit that Like button if you want to see more Simplified episodes.

I live in Bangalore and I use Nitrogen for my car. We spend about 50-100 rupees for 4 tyres (prices vary in filling centres) and honestly that works out to be a lot cheaper for me because most Bangaloreans tip the attendant 5-10 rupees for normal Air filling each time. And I have noticed that since the pressure in tyres with nitrogen remain A LOT more consistent, I have noticed consistently decent fuel efficiency. One of the most prominent advantages for me would be that I don't have to wait in the air filling line once every 2 weeks like I would if I was running normal air. (and these lines have got me waiting for over 10 minutes in some situations) TIME IS MONEY So I'd choose Nitrogen for my daily driver without much fuss.

Whoever from team PD has suggested this series, should get a hike What a simple yet informative series...

I had a 6-7 year old apache 160 rtr and had to drive totally 60 km daily for around 2 years to reach my workplace. I filled my tyres fully on nitrogen for few weeks and others I rode on normal air. (Nitrogen costs Rs 10 per tyre or 5 for just top up). Although, doubtful myself in the beginning I found marked difference in how Nitrogen filled tyres soak up bumps. They make a huge difference when you are riding for long distance on uneven roads. Big potholes are generally taken care by your suspension but minor bumps, small potholes etc are definitely less noticeable on nitro tyres. Again the difference might not be perceived by most people on short distances or if they expect even the big potholes to go unnoticed. ... but because, I did this testing for 2 years repeatedly on the same stretch of pothole filled uneven typical Indian roads week after week for such long distances, I can assure they do have an improvement of lets say 15-20% on handling. The rides are much smoother, the bike doesn't bounce sharply on rocks or bumps etc.

I've a friend, who still believes that nitrogen gives him better mileage 😂

So shumi this is what we read usually for nitrogen what's d take 1-that this air is lighter 2-Makes tyres less vulnerable to a punture. 3-Increases the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. 4-Keeps the tyres cooler 5-Let's u chk d air pressure less often Kindly guide🙏 Plus this new sessions are really great for imparting the correct knowledge to d riders..Kudos to PD army ✌️✌️😎

I would like to disagree on this.. The major advantage is when you go for long ride like 100 to 200 km, tyre filled with air would have eventually 2 to 3 points higher pressure as air expand more due to heat than Nitrogen does. This increase in tyre pressure results in a bumpy ride at the end... But if you ha e nitogen filled in tge tyre pressure doesnt change after a long run... This i am saying from my experience of last 5 to 6 years of using nitrogen...

Finally someone in sync with me when it comes to use of nitrogen in tyres.....this myth is so rampant that people are not ready to listen even if you give them logic that nitrogen is not needed in your car which you mostly drive in city traffic and NOT ON A RACE TRACK !! 😂

Agree. Normal city riding conditions don't really warrant Nitrogen use. But say if you have to drive on cemented roads....case in point Yamuna Expressway, I guess Nitrogen is a better option? 2-3 Hrs of High speed driving is bound to cause considerable temperature variations.

Really good video Shumi! While the logic is bulletproof, I appreciate you having mentioned that Nitrogen does have its benefits, all the same. Personally, I prefer to use Nitrogen for the following reasons: 1. Very less quantity of water vapour and Oxygen (the best friends of Oxidation). 2. Tyres feel more stable (and a bit heavier). This may also be a con to some. 3. No need to fill frequently, or worry about faster deflation after a long ride. 4. Quite inexpensive for Motorcycles actually. (25-30₹ for each tyre at any Nitrogen pump in Pune. 10₹ for refilling both tyres.). Considering that Petrol costs well over 100₹ a litre now, 30₹ for a span of 3-4 months doesn't seem that bad.

Sir in our state we have free nitrogen in every petrol pump......so would u recommend using nitrogen since its free......and also could u explain why people say once u fill it with nitrogen u can't use normal air

Thanks for confirming this. Just like everyone else even I used to fill nitrogen for a couple of years back in 2016/17. But the hassle of finding nitrogen enabled pump on long drives led me back to normal air. I just get it checked everytime I fillup gas ⛽️ and that’s about it. Simple and effective without any extra cost 😊

Yeah! Checking tyre pressures and keeping an eye on the valve condition is more imp than filling nitrogen. Keeping the valve clean is important. I recently had an instance where my tyres lost preasure in a day because some minute dirt grain had gotten in the valve and the valve couldn't close properly.

Perfectly explained Shumi! Thank you :)

One of my good friend almost got me to fill nitrogen in my 4 wheeler. Thank you shumi sir you saved my 200 bucks. 🙏

Simply Loving this simplified series ! It’s a boon to the people who are new to the world of motoring :)

I feel lucky to have come across this amazing channel and the kind of content that is posted regularly especially through Simplified where this amazing person breaks down concepts which as a bike rider I personally would not have known, had I not subscribed. Keep posting such useful videos to help making bike riding a smooth and easy to go for experience for everyone. ✌🏼✨

Do nitrogen play role in keeping tyre cool for continuous long highway stretch specially on a hot day of summer?

Loved this video from Shumi and team.. Want more on this simplified series from PD team.. Great initiative ✨

Hey Shumi: I definitely owe you a cup of coffee for saving some bucks going forward. Thanks for this one!

So finally got clarity... since we see big posters to say that to use N2.. For family car, Air filling is enough. Since we are already RACING our family... Hope for long journey, N2 is better...

These videos are so much informative. Kudos to PD!

First time SHUMI says cheaper solution is good then expensive 😂

Never ever stop this series... Loving it

Should we use NO2 in engine to increase its performance

Shumi Bhai. Can you make a video on Xp95 Petrol (speed) and Normal Petrol? Whether we can fill xp95 petrol in 110 CC and will it perform well on 110cc scooter or bikes compared to Normal petrol.

Thank you n love you powerdrift. U guys are educating us like hell on things that ppl act to know coz it's so simple but we actually don't. Lol!!! No professors or engineers will explain things so simple and smooth to ordinary common pple. Thanks again

here are some personal experience with nitrogen *pros - tire pressure is on point most of the time - heats less in long trips - haven't experienced any punctures in 5 years (maybe as tire pressure is on point so things can't penetrate in it) *cons -while short rides from point A to B. as tire is mostly cold it offers less grip comparatively. please note i get a 300/- yearly membership at a service station and fill nitrogen after every 2 weeks so it does not cost much as filling air is 5/- for bike.

This series is getting better day by day.

Thanks Brother... You have explained very well.

Hawa ya nitrogen ??? This is the most confusing question I get it from air fillers. Thank you for sorting it so easily. We dont need nitrogen for daily commute.

Inertness of nitrogen also gives an advantage to the tyres as it would not react with other chemical compounds that would've mixed with atmosphere (like industrial chemicals coming out of a chimney) that would've inadvertently entered into the tyres. Again, not a strong point to support nitrogen over air but just adding to the features of nitrogen.

I always use nitrogen when I am going out on long drives I mean anything ranging from 500kms and beyond that. Infact my long have been of 3500kms that too in couple of weeks and the experience has been good. Agree it's bit expensive but 200% peace of mind. For emergency I always carry a tyre inflator :)

O2 around 18-21% depends on pressure and altitude ... rest is moisture and Co2 etc ... totally agree with you for Air filling in tyres !! most of N filling ceters make money by sayiing its pure N but that is simple air comming from fancy compressor at filling stations and tyres shops ..... 100% agree with you

Please make video on gear ratio and knocking sound, benefit of Short gear and high gear..

Recently switched to Nitrogen on both my bikes and did feel a certain amount of lightness in handling.

This is nice initiative to simplify most general doubts in all riders.

Ohh Boi!!! This is one hell of a topic to discuss. Just because I did my UG on Mechanical Engineering, everytime I used to say this, major part of the group would say, "tu chup kar! Tujhe bada pata hai" 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. Great work PD! Nicely done. 🙌🏻🔥❤️

Thanks for such informative video👌🏻 #PDArmy

Shumi, Lucknow Expressway has free nitrogen pumps. When my car runs constantly at 140 kmph for 2 hours or so, does the heated air inside the tyres cause tyres to expand and hence lose grip? Does nitrogen help here?

Shumi sir , can you please simplify the concept of clutch less gear shifting. In Normal bikes. 😁

What a way to start my Sunday with the fav series 😎

Benefits after using nitrogen in my bike tyres 1. Tyre stability even on High temperature seemed good 2. Less seepage of air on leak 3. Tyre becomes lighter and bike moves easily with just small effort 4. Handlebar feels lighter and bike becomes more easy to maneuver. 5. Higher tyre life as zero moisture present inside

Would you recommend Nitrogen on high-performance tires?

Hey guys, really appreciate your effort and love you videos. Can you please make a video on modern electronic aids in bikes like imu based systems... Wheelie control and others such stuff.

Practically, I’ve experienced that tyres filled with air will show a very high pressure after a long run (due to expansion of air by temperature) which is very low in tyres filled with nitrogen. That’s why I prefer nitrogen filling for long rides.

rim rusting is also happens when normal air is filled.... N2 give advantage of it

Perfect Schumi sir Few people are addicted to Nitrogen and they don't prefer filling normal air. My view is, normal air contains small %of moisture. And in long running that moisture reacts with rim and forms oxidation and results in rust formation. I fill only Normal air in my vehicles coz can't spare extra amount for the air regularly 🙂

When it comes to cars and driving on a highways like Samrudhi mahamarg in summers at 45 deg C. , Nitrogen can be helpful. And yes Nitrogen improves drivability by keeping all tires pressure constant and also improves life of tires & also can reduce the frequency of wheel balancing..

I would stick to nitrogen only because it helps me to avoid checking tyre pressure regularly.

This was really a good video. I was filling nitrogen in my car since last 7 years. Now I can stop it and save some buck😉 Thank you very much for this information!!!

Hi Shumi. I am continuously using Nitrogen as it is freely available in my city.

Similarly can you please explain if it is worth using Power/speed than the regular unleaded?

It's like pd can read my mind... Whenever i think of something about bike... Boooom... They upload a video Thank you for making bikers educated

In some parts of our country 🇮🇳 nitrogen is also same price as air (maybe 5 or 10rs that too if we volenteerely give them ) or else free only in most cases in south India, also for racing the usage of helium is recommended I most cases than nitrogen as helium is lighter nd makes the car go faster but the drawback on helium in tyres is it isn't as leakproof as nitrogen nd we want to check more frequently than normal air🏁

Great info thanks. I dunno if it’s in my head, but I feel that the road noise inside a four wheeler is reduced when running nitrogen. Could there be any truth in this?! Or am I just making peace with myself for the cost and effort of regularly using nitrogen😋

I'm just about to ride from West all the way to Eastern part of India and was considering the fact, thanks Shumi.🙏

Literally used to tell this to guys with big bikes (and money). But hey, what do I know, I just have a 150cc Yamaha. And Nitrogen in tyres is essential for the peak performance required for the Sunday morning ride to Murthal. 😑

Additionally .. they forgot to tell you .. You already have 1 bar ( atmospheric ) pressure inside the tyre / tube ) when you fill 2.5 bar above atmospheric ... ( 3.5 bar absolute ) You already have 28% air inside the tyre .. You don't vacuum it out before filling nitrogen .. And When commercial compressors compress air, it gets heated ...and , it's first stored in a metal tank .. When the tank gets cold .. The water vapour / moisture turns in to water and settles down at the bottom .. And is redily drained out to prevent rusting of tank from inside .. Additionally ... Oxydation of tyre occuors mostly from outside as it's mainly due to ozone in the air at dawn , and direct Sun rays ...UVA and UVB ..not inside .... And if you take in to account minutely more expansion of plain air than nitrogen gas .. Then .. More expansion ..means fuller tyre ..means bigger radius ( ultra minute taller velocity ratio ) , + lesser rolling resistance.. So in theory . Sould cover more distence in same engine rpm ...... Well that's plain physics ....😝🤪

Bagundi Shumi garu. Nice video

Try adding more animations to these 'simplified' videos. Sometimes there's a lot of jargon in the script and a visual representation of the explanation would help a lot.

Please make a video on buying helmets under various budgets ie 5k,10k,20k etc.

Hey wonderful video powerdrift. Can you make a video over car tire upsizing , which pattern of tyres are good, and which is a better brand for car tire.

Every video of you. I like and share. Only because they are informative

Hey guys, great video. I many a times lose traction when I am in corners, I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. Can you cover suspensions and cornering in a video?

Thanks a lot Guruji!! Much Appreciated!! You've annihilated nitrogen business in petrol bunks!!

Thanks for clearing the myth on which is better- nitrogen or regular air 👍🏼

Hi shumi Make a video on your KTM Duke 390 Your experience with it all these years The pros and cons about your riding experience with it

Could we have a video explaining the difference between four wheel drive and all wheel drive along with things like transfer case and 4 low ?

Hi Shumi, this is off the topic comment, but can we suggest manufactures of 2 and 4 wheelers to indicate how many liters of petrol is there in tank instead of just showing a fuel meter which gives you a vague idea. This will help the customers from being cheated at the petrol pumps.

Can you please do a video on suspension systems? What is the meaning of preload, rebound and compression, etc and how do they affect the vehicle perfomance?

@Shumar Would filling tyres with Nitrogen in a humid coastal areas be of benefit as the atmospheric air is more moisture laden (especially during rainy season as the moisture level goes up)?

Hey shumi u had broken the myths Thanks for suggesting to fill the normal air in tyres

Amazing. Thanks Schumi.. I had this question for soo long.. My qn: does Nitrogen have any additional advantage if there are punctures on the tyre?

0:14 gas and not the stuff that you get from rajma!😂😂 Shumi sir's sarcasm is on another level🔥😂😂

There is also cooling effect inside the tyre ..the Nitrogen won't heat the tyre as much as air ..hence more life to tyre

Shumi on fire 🔥 back to back videos

Thank Shumi 👍....loved it...great work PD👍

Thanks you for hearing and making video on it

Please provide, riding tips, off roading tips, how to maintain high end bikes and such content. 👍

Hey Shumi, do one explainer video on different firing order of engine

Wow!! Great topic addressed.. This, sure, will save a lot of brainstorming for millions of people at fuel stations.. 😂

Here in Goa we have fuel stations giving free nitrogen top ups!

Free air sounds fillings from petrol stations. But a wise man who knows little about tires once said dont fill from stations rather go for puncture repairer who uses compressor pump where actual psi is pumped in.

Adding to you, what I think is only tyre inner area is exposed to nitrogen and outer area of tyre is always in the ambient.

Thank you..please make a video on engine braking n rev matching

Thank you for the information 💯, really helpful

Hi Shumi.. just love your simplified series.. Can you simplify whether using different brands of fuels makes any changes to engine performance ?.. and if yes .. which one is better?

@Powerdrift what would be your recommendation for touring on bike? Air for touring or nitrogen for touring?

Please explain the same with engine oils ❤️

i have a topic...does performance filter and free flow exhaust make more power and better average...in my case it has significantly improved and made my motorcycle better to ride...

Nitrogen costs 20₹ in Pune, you're probably filling it up nearby IT or surrounding area due to which prices are exorbitant.

Pls try to make a Video demonstration of at which RPM which gear should be applied & throttle application

I literally thought nitrogen was used to keep the tyre cool 😂😂😂 thanks PD

Make a video on ethanol mix in the fuel

Does nitrogen have a role to play in case of EVs. Tyre pressures are too crucial in EVs.

Even the tyre manufacturers dont recommend nitrogen gas over normal air.

I’ve been telling about this to people who just does the best for their cars. Now I can share this video

The nitrogen that is usually available free of charge at petrol pumps...Is it really of the required purity that is 95 per cent..Or is it all a big hoax? How do you know whether the claimed nitrogen being filled in your tyres even against payment is not actually the atmospheric air...

love your series very informative..
