The rubber used in tires is somewhat more permeable to oxygen than it is to nitrogen, so inflating tires with nitrogen keeps them at their recommended inflation pressure longer.


Does a self inflating raft require oxygen?

Self inflating rafts come with their own compressed air; that's why they are self inflating. If it was not self inflating you would have to pump air into it to inflate it. In either case, rafts can be inflated by any form of gas, it does not have to be oxygen.

What gas is in a tyer?

Tires are most often filled with compressed air, which is the same air that we breathe. Air is made up of about 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen. Tires are also sometimes filled with pure Nitrogen in order to get better gas mileage and tire life. This is possible because pure Nitrogen does not expand and contract with temperature changes as much as air does. So if you fill your tires with air when it is cold, the air will expand when it heats up and increase your tire pressure, which makes them less efficient and wear quicker. Inflating tires with pure Nitrogen helps to minimize this inefficiency and offset its negative results.
