Call for Pricing
If you are one of the 85% of Americans who
doesn't regularly check tire pressure,
you need nitrogen.
We take in nitrogen with every breath. Air is composed of:
1% Water Vapor and Other Gases – Escapes up to 250
times faster than Nitrogen
21% Oxygen – Escapes 3-4 times faster than Nitrogen
78% Nitrogen – The largest molecule in
air, dry, non-flammable.
Because of their large size, nitrogen molecules are the least permeable and stay in your tire longer.
It's not about the nitrogen. It's about reducing oxygen, water vapor and other gases.
By reducing the percentage of oxygen, water vapor and other gases in your tires from 22% to 7% or lower, your tires will maintain proper pressure longer than if you use “plain old air.” For example, with 95% nitrogen in your tires, they retain optimal pressure three to four times longer.
Proper tire pressure is a big deal.
Maintain it with nitrogen, and you'll see
these three primary benefits:
Increased Fuel Efficiency – Correct tire pressure keeps
the manufacturer's recommended “contact patch” on the road. This lessens the rolling resistance and maximizes fuel
efficiency.
Longer Tire Life – When it comes in contact
with other materials, oxygen causes oxidation. Oxidation can make rubber brittle and cause it to lose tensile
strength. In addition, at high temperatures and pressures, oxygen reacts and damages inner tire liners and belt
packages; nitrogen does not.
Increased Safety – Under-inflated tires cause
90% of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential.
Other benefits:
Improved TPMS Performance – If you have a new car,
you likely are plagued by a flashing light telling you your tire pressure is low. For example, one woman's light
was going off every four to five weeks. After inflating with nitrogen, her light didn't reappear for 53 weeks!
More Predictable Pressure Fluctuation – NASCAR teams
use nitrogen so they can more accurately predict tire pressure fluctuation. Regular compressed air can fluctuate
considerably when water vapor is present.
