Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:19:21 +0000 http://gm-volt.com/?p=1435#comment-89697 The air we breath is already 78% nitrogen. Duh. Aluminum has gained wheel dominance in the last twenty years on better finish (thanks to machining), higher consumer preference and improved lightness. Forged aluminum is generally stronger and lighter than cast aluminum. This means that GM is considering consumer preferences, performance qualities, such as strength and lightness, and best looks for the Volt in every single little detail. Thanks, GM. The overall integration counts, too. This also implies that GM actually understands the high performance inherent in electric drive, and thus sees the benefits of wheel strength, and the additional benefits of getting more speed through adding lightness. I can't believe I just complimented GM. The air we breath is already 78% nitrogen. Duh.

That one seems to pop up a lot. Unfortunately....not much of a benefit, but it sure sounds cool and might go well with the HALO. See link below for wireless pressure sensors. Our green friends might be interested. http://www.tirepressuremonitor.com/tire-pressure-monitoring-system2.htm No mention of Nitrogen gas for the tires? That one seems to pop up a lot.

This would make a lot of customers happy. I would like the flexibility of choosing tires to suite my location and driving from the many that are available. Put the specialized tires on them in a standard size then the owners will have some personal options.
