Nitrogen filled tires will
last longer, provide increased safety, offer better fuel efficiency, and
reduced operating costs.
- Maintain proper inflation pressure longer:
Tires inflated with compressed air lose 2 psi/month. It takes up to 6 months or more for the same loss with nitrogen filled tires.
- Improve fuel efficiency:
Properly inflated tires provide a 3.3% increase in miles/gallon
- Longer tire life:
By maintaining proper inflation pressure and minimizing tire aging,
tire life improves by up to 25%
- Eliminate chemical aging of the tire:
As oxygen and water vapor permeate through the side wall, the rubber
degrades, causing the tire to deteriorate. Nitrogen is inert, halts
the chemical aging of the tire, and prolongs tire quality
- Nitrogen
is very dry (-50°F dewpoint):
Nitrogen eliminates condensation and
rim corrosion, and will allow tires to run cooler and provide a safer
ride
- Maximize safety:
Cooler rolling temperatures minimize autoignition and catastrophic
blowouts, providing a safer ride.
- Increase retreadability:
As nitrogen minimizes the oxidation of the rubber, the tire retains
its original quality longer, providing more retreads/casing
