How nitrogen works and what it does.

Nitrogen (N₂) makes up the majority of the air that we breathe and is contained in the protein of all life on earth. It is colorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. The next most common component of air is oxygen (O₂). Together N₂ and O₂ make up approximately 99% of the air we breathe and traditionally fill tires with.

N₂ is a larger molecule than O₂.

Therefore, it cannot escape as easily as oxygen through porous material such as a rubber tire wall (carcass). Leaking at a much slower rate than oxygen, a tire filled with a higher percentage of N₂ maintains its proper pressure roughly three to four times longer than air-filled tires. Proper inflation provides better fuel economy, superior handling, longer tire life, and increased safety by reducing the likelihood of low pressure related loss of control, blowouts and other tire failures.

N₂ is a dry, inert gas.

O₂ in a tire provides unwanted oxidation. Over time, this reaction destroys the tire carcass and corrodes wheels. A tire is prematurely aged by O₂ from the inside-out as the pressurized air in the tire makes the O₂ try to escape through the tire carcass, speeding up the damaging oxidation process. N₂ on the other hand, is a harmless inert gas that does not react negatively with tires and wheels. N₂ filled tires also reduce tire heat, thereby decreasing rolling resistance and increasing fuel economy.

N₂ is non-flammable.

O₂ is a flammable gas while N₂ is an extinguishing gas. Thus, a large number of mass transportation companies around the world fill their tires with N₂ for added fire and explosion safety. In a vehicle fire, ruptured air-filled tires fuel the fire. N₂ filled tires slow the fire.

N₂ has been used in tires for many years on aircraft, military vehicles, off road trucks, racecars, and even Tour de France bicycles.

Nitrogen inflated tires are safer and longer lasting than tires inflated with air.

• Nitrogen inflated tires do not age as quickly as air inflated tires
• Nitrogen inflated tires minimize blowouts
• Nitrogen inflated tires improve vehicle handling through proper inflation and consistently maintained pressure
• Nitrogen is an inert, non-combustible and non-flammable gas
• Nitrogen is a stable gas providing more constant pressure
• Nitrogen is a dry gas with no corrosive properties as found in compressed air

Correct inflation versus under-inflation.

Correct inflation is highly significant when considering tire life and performance. It is not always possible to look at a tire and detect under-inflation. However, under-inflation can cause many tire-related problems. As inflation pressure largely determines a tire’s load capacity, under-inflation results in an overloaded tire. An under-inflated tire operates at high deflection resulting decreased fuel economy, sluggish handling and may result in excessive mechanical flexing and heat buildup leading to catastrophic tire failure.

We are serious about offering the highest quality nitrogen tire filling service. Our professional nitrogen tire filling equipment is built in the USA by RTI Technologies, Inc., part of a global company that builds automated equipment that fills new vehicles with fluids in vehicle assembly plants around the world.

High quality NitroPro Aluminum N2 Valve Stem Caps provide a great reminder to you and others that your tires are filled with nitrogen!

Nitrogen-Filled Tires Facts and Testimonials.

“One thing government and tire-industry officials agree on is the importance of keeping tires properly inflated. The risks of underinflation, which stresses tires by causing their sidewalls to flex more and the air temperature inside to rise, were highlighted during congressional hearings a few years ago. Underinflation was identified as a factor in the failure of these tires.”
--Wall Street Journal, September 25, 2002

Using nitrogen instead of compressed air has distinct advantages, which lead to immediate benefits for the vehicle owner.

1. It has more mass, so it migrates through the tire three to four times slower. The result: Tires hold their psi longer.
2. It runs about 20% cooler. Less heat results in less tire degradation.
3. It drastically reduces oxidation on the rim and inner-liner (nitrogen systems almost totally eliminate oxygen—the cause of oxidation—from the mix).
4. It is environmentally safe.
--Bob Ulrich, Modern Tire Dealer, July, 2004

TMC (Technology & Maintenance Council of American Trucking Association) says that about 90% of tire failure causing tire road debris is caused by underinflation.
--TMC Tire Air Pressure Study, May, 2002

Bridgestone says air inflated tires lost an average of 2.7 psi per month and nitrogen inflated tires lost an average of 0.7 psi per month.
--Guy Walenga, Clemson Tire Conference, March, 2004

Michelin supports the use of nitrogen based on its ability to better retain pressure over a period of time.
--Michelin Technical Bulletin, November, 2003

“Goodyear says 15% under-inflation equals 8% less tread mileage and 2.5% decrease in fuel economy.”
--Goodyear Radial Truck Tire and Retread Service Manual, Page 40

“Having tires inflated to the maximum recommended pressure can improve gas mileage by as much as 6 percent.”
--Ann Job, “Fuel Saving Tips,” MSN Autos, September 19, 2005

Pirelli says 20% under-inflation equals 15% shorter tire life.

United States Department of Energy says the United States loses over 2 million gallons of fuel each day due to under-inflation.
