Benefits of nitrogen...
- Better tire pressure retention – nitrogen
migrates through a tire 3 to 4 times slower
than oxygen. It may take 6 months to lose
2 psi with nitrogen compared to less than
a month with oxygen.
- Improved fuel economy – a
result of having the proper air pressure
which lessens the rolling resistance. Under-inflated
tires have a greater rolling resistance.
- Cooler running tires – tires
inflated with nitrogen run cooler than tires
inflated with regular air.
- Removal of oxidation – oxygen
is a highly reactive element at high temperatures
and pressures. Replacing the oxygen with
nitrogen helps eliminate the oxidation that
damages inner liners and belt packages.
- Improved retreadability – eliminating
oxidation also improves the retreadability
due to more flexibility in the tire casing.
Less tire aging and tire cord rust could
very well increase the number of retreadable
casings and also increase the number of times
a casing can be retreaded.
- Elimination of rim rust – since
nitrogen is completely dry, condensation
is eliminated which in turn eliminates rim rust.
- On-the-road reliability – tire
failures can be significantly reduced which reduces down time and costly service calls.
