Well, quite literally so! Get nitrogen for your car tyres and feel the difference for yourself. If you’re in Banaglore, you can get nitrogen for your tyres at the HP petrol pump on (Old) Airport Road. If you’re coming from Marathalli, then look for a Pizza Hut on your left. You’ll find this place immediately after the crossing. (Before Manipal Hosipta; Leela Palace across the road).
The guy charges Rs 30 per tyre for the first fill. The fill apparently lasts 6 months. Subsequent cost is Rs 10 per tyre. Following benefits:
- Car drives smoother (can vouch for it)
- You don’t have to worry about air pressure for six months (need to verify)
- Less likelihood of a tyre burst (need to verify)
- Better mileage (need to verify)
There may be other places in Bangalore offering this service. If so, please update those locations as comments on this article.

Nitrogen tire inflation is a new trend that has hit the automotive industry with great excitement. Many people believe that it is just a gimmick, however, studies have proved that nitrogen inflation does improve gas mileage, tire life, as well as many other benefits.
