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 (02). Together N2 and O2 make up approximately 99% of the air we breathe and traditionally fill tires with.
N2 is a larger molecule the 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 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. I a vehicle fire, ruptures 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, and even Tour de France bicycles.
Nitrogen filled 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 nonflammable 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 tires load capacity, under-
inflation results in as overload tire. An under-
inflated tire operates at high deflection resulting in
decreased fuel economy, sluggish handling and may result in excessive mechanical flexing and heat build up, 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 news vehicles with fluids in vehicle assembly plants around the world.
High quality NitroPro chrome valve stem caps with N2 marking provide a great reminder to you and others that your tire are filled with nitrogen.
Nitrogen-Filled Tires
Facts & Testimonials
"One thing government and tire industry officials agree on is the importance of keeping tire properly inflated. The risks of under inflation, which stresses tires by causing their sidewalls to flex more and the air temperature inside to rise, were highlighted during congressional hearings two years ago into the Firestone tire problems. Under inflation was identified as a factor in the failure of Firestone 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 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 failures causing tire road debris is caused by under inflation.
TMC Tire Air Pressure Study, May, 2002
Bridgestone says air inflated tires lost an average of 2.7 psi per month and nitrogen 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 and Tire Retread Service Manual
"Having tires inflated to the maximum recommended pressure can improve gas mileage by as much as 6 percent."
Ann Jon, "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 year due to under-inflation.
