Nitrogen for Tyres & Motorsport
Nitrogen is non-flammable, non-toxic and odourless — a stable, inert gas that holds tyre pressure consistently across the wild temperature and traction swings of a race circuit. We supply nitrogen cylinders for motorsport, manufacturing, food packaging and AC purging.

Nitrogen tyre inflation for motorsport and workshops
Nitrogen is an inert gas used for a wide variety of applications. The gas in our nitrogen cylinders is non-flammable, non-toxic and odourless — safe to use across air conditioning, food packaging, motorsport tyre inflation, manufacturing and wine preservation.
Filling tyres with nitrogen rather than air has many advantages: it combats water-vapour issues by displacing the oxygen vapour needs to form, and it has a more consistent rate of expansion — ideal for motorsport tyres across the varying temperatures and traction of a race track. Tyre pressure stays predictable lap after lap. For other applications, nitrogen purges AC systems by flushing impurities and absorbing moisture, displaces oxygen in food and wine preservation, and assists in manufacturing where liquid nitrogen shrinks fittings to seal connections cleanly.
Common questions
Compact FAQ content supports long-tail searches and answers buying objections before checkout.
Why use nitrogen in tyres instead of compressed air?
Nitrogen has a more consistent rate of expansion than air, which is ideal for motorsport tyres given the varying temperatures and traction across a race track. It also displaces the oxygen that water vapour needs to form, so tyre pressure stays predictable lap after lap.
Is nitrogen safe to use?
Yes. Nitrogen is an inert gas — non-flammable, non-toxic and odourless — making it safe across motorsport tyre inflation, air-conditioning purging, food packaging, wine preservation and manufacturing.
What other applications does nitrogen cover?
Air conditioning (purging impurities and absorbing trapped moisture), food packaging and wine preservation (displacing oxygen to prevent spoilage), motorsport tyre inflation, and manufacturing (shrinking fittings to seal connections; liquid nitrogen also assists tunnel creation and excavation).
What cylinder size should I order?
We stock several sizes of nitrogen bottles — pick a smaller cylinder for occasional use, or a larger size if it is a daily-use cylinder for a workshop, race team or production line. Call 01843 220 596 for help choosing.
