The Benefits
of Using Nitrogen
|
Safety First
Save
Money

|
-
Consistent
inflation pressure over longer periods
- Nitrogen permeates through the tire at a rate
of 35% slower that oxygen (air)
- Under inflated tires flex and build up heat,
breaking down the rubber over time
- 60% of blowouts are caused by under inflation
- Consistent inflation improves tread life
- Vehicle handling is improved
-
Longer
Tire Life
- Nitrogen is a dry gas which disperses heat
more rapidly resulting in cooler running tires.
This preserves the integrity of the rubber,
belts, and bead
- This inert gas also significantly slows the
chemical aging process associated with oxygen
and moisture (air)
-
Improved
fuel efficiency
- Passenger cars realize 2-3 miles per gallon
gains (4% on average*)
- Trucks realize gains of 2+%
-
At 4% fuel
efficiency enhancement, the savings are
significant to the car owner
- At 4% on a vehicle with 20 mpg rating, this
saves approximately 2.5 gallons per week based
on 40 miles per day @ $1.90 per gallon that adds
up to $228 savings per year

What you
Need to know

Don't
forget the spare tire! |
- Your tire
valves will have green valve caps (indicating
Nitrogen)
- You get
free top ups as long as the tire we installed stays
on that rim.
- If for
some reason you need to inflate your tires, there is
no harm in inflating them or topping them up with
"air". Just let us know the next time you are in.
- Continue
to set your tires to the specified pressure for your
vehicle
