2012 XKR-S Convertible - Inital Thoughts
#21
Matt:
Consider using nitrogen in the tires rather than regular compressed air. There are some advantages, especially if you can find a cheap source for filling them up.
Most, very large welding supply shops may be able to fill the tires at a very reasonable cost. They have large tanks filled with nitrogen. Most auto dealers charge about $40.00 for the 4 tires and are putting in nitrogen on the higher end cars.
I raced high speed, high perfomance formula race cars for many years and had a tank filled with nitrogen.
When I took possession of my XKR the tires were already filled with nitrogen. They hold the pressure better without variances and heat temps inside the tire walls do not heat up like compressed air.
Give it a try.
Enjoy the ride, it looks beautiful. Sure would like to see more photos of the car. Looks like you may have rare car with the Green.
