Tires are usually filled with air. It makes the tire float in the air, and it makes you go faster. The more air, the faster you will go.
As long as there is enough air, your tires will keep on rolling along. However, if your tires are filled with nitrogen instead of air, they won’t be able to move anymore.

Should you fill your car tires with air or nitrogen?
There is no wrong answer when it comes to filling your car tires with air or nitrogen. It all comes down to preference.
If you prefer speed over comfort, you should fill your tires with nitrogen. Nitrogen has the ability to hold more air than air, which means that your car will go faster on flat ground and in low-pressure areas.
On the other hand, if you want a more comfortable ride in unfavorable conditions, fill your tires with air. Air has the ability to distribute pressure evenly, which means that you will be less likely to experience a Blowout.
How to use the air-nitrogen mixture in car tires?
To use the air-nitrogen mixture in your car tires, you will first need to locate the Schrader valve. The Schrader valve is a small metal disk that sits on top of each tire.
You should be able to identify the Schrader valve by its yellow and black color scheme or by the letter “S” printed on it.
Once you have located the Schrader valve, unscrew it using your Phillips screwdriver. Be careful not to lose any of the screws that come with the Schrader valve. Once you have unscrewed the Schrader valve, you will need to remove the inner tube from it.
Do nitrogen-filled tires deflate quickly?
Nitrogen-filled tires do not deflate quickly, but they will lose air over time. You should check your tire pressure regularly and replace the inner tube if it becomes flat or damaged.
Nitrogen-filled tires can hold air for up to 50 years if they are not exposed to conditions that would cause them to deflate quickly.
Can you mix nitrogen with air?
Yes, you can mix air and nitrogen together in your car tires. However, it is important to note that the mixture will be less effective if done improperly.
If the mixture becomes too dense or lumpy, it can cause your car to lose performance and stability.

Do I need to use nitrogen in my tires?
You should only use an air-nitrogen mixture if the Schrader valve does not have a regulation feature. The Schrader valve will allow you to mix either air or nitrogen into your car tire, but it cannot be used for both purposes at the same time.
If yours has no provision that can lend itself as an outlet for other gases besides oxygen and its atmosphere of brake fluid, this valve must be made exclusive to the one and same gas.
Do nitrogen-filled tires lose pressure in the cold?
Nitrogen-filled tires lose pressure in the cold as they work harder to move the same amount of air. Make sure your tire pressure is kept at a safe level and replace an inner tube if it becomes flat or damaged.
Conclusion
Nitrogen is odorless and colorless. It doesn’t give off any smell as air does. And it can also be made to look exactly the same as normal air (very important if you want your tires to pass an inspection).
However, doing so will make them unable to move, and they will be a danger to yourself and others.
