Loading tires with Propylene Glycol

   / Loading tires with Propylene Glycol #71  
I use tubes, and balalsted water.

Contrary to popular belief.. we do get cold enough temps to freeze standing water down here... not alot of it.. but enough that standing water and pipes will burst... so yes.. and fluid I have inmy tires has something in it to prevent freeze.

Why bother trying to fill your tires with nitrogen when air is essentially free and can be topped up at home? The idea that it will delay algae growth seems odd as even plain air in a tire doesn't have enough oxygen to allow growth of algae. And why deionized water??? Does a tad of sodium or other salt really matter in an anaerobic environment?

Why worry about having sterile fluid in your tires either? Has anyone ever heard of a tire being eaten apart from the inside by superbugs? Don't we all drive through manure etc routinely? There are a lot more bugs on the outside of a tire than will ever be on the inside with an environment that has no sunlight (algae kinda like that) and no nutrients.

Nitrogen is a bigger molecule so the tires don't lose it as fast. Thats one other reason for using it.
