By filling your tires with Nitrogen instead of air, you can benefit in many ways from saving money to safety and performance including:
- Tires filled with nitrogen maintain their pressure up to 40% longer.
- Better steering and braking control.
- Better fuel economy: get more miles per gallon on an average of fuel economy of up to 6%!
- Longer tire life: tires with nitrogen last up to 25% longer.
Nitrogen tire service is already being used where safety and performance count most including:
- NASCAR, Indy Car and Formula one racing
- The Space Shuttle
- Airplane Tires
How tires loose air pressure and why it's important
Tires loose air pressure naturally through permeation through the sidewall. A tire inflated with compressed air will normally lose 1 to 2.7 pounds of pressure a month just from normal driving. The warmer the weather the more pressure tires will loose.
Using Nitrogen as an alternative to air, is maintaining proper pressure, which will in turn give you better steering, better braking and better fuel economy.
Nitrogen has larger, denser molecules, and is 3 to 4 times less likely to escape from tires. Maintaining steady and proper tire pressure reduces wear and increases safety, which also reduces the rolling resistance on the tire.
