Nitrogen Provides Better Fuel Consumption:

% Improves Tread Life:

• Improper air pressure is one reason that tires wear improperly and quickly. Because nitrogen filled tires maintain proper air pressure longer they provide more “even” tire wear, and can improve the tread life of your tires.

Nitrogen Improves Tire Life:

• Compressed air contains oxygen and tire rubber will deteriorate because of it.  During operation, cracks form inside the tire at the edge of the two steel belts. Crack growth rates increase dramatically in oxidized rubber, so as mileage and chronological age increase, the cracks can propagate between the belts, potentially resulting in a tread separation.  The oxidation that leads to the chemical and physical changes in the belt skim is termed "tire aging".  Unlike tread wear (the traditional measure of tire life) or other damage (punctures, ozone cracking, etc.), the rubber oxidation that leads to tread separations is typically not visible to the average consumer.  Using nitrogen in your tires will help prevent this.  Nitrogen will keep your tires soft and supple.  Studies have shown that using nitrogen will increase your tire life up to 50%.

Nitrogen Improves Tire Stability:

• Nitrogen is a cool dry gas.  Compressed air contains moisture.  When moisture changes from liquid to vapor it  expands tremendously in volume, and holds heat.  So, tires inflated with wet air tend to run hotter and fluctuate in pressure more.  That’s why racing tires, where fractions of a psi can radically change handling, are inflated with dry nitrogen. Nitrogen inflated tires run cooler and have no moisture to expand and contract to change the tire properties.  This in combination with maintaining the correct tire pressure for greater periods of time allows you to maintain the correct tire footprint on the road.  The water vapor also acts as a catalyst, accelerating rust and corrosion.
