What is nitrogen tire inflation?
The inflation of vehicle tires with nitrogen gas instead of air.

Is nitrogen dangerous?
No, nitrogen is the most common gas in the earth’s atmosphere. We breathe in and exhale nitrogen mixed with oxygen every time we take a breath.

Why inflate tires with nitrogen?
Inflating tires with nitrogen eliminates many problems that occur when tires are inflated with compressed air.

The oxygen and water vapor in compressed air:

• Bleed through rubber and loses pressure over time
• Expand and contract with temperature changes
• Hold the heat generated from road friction
• Oxidize rim and rubber surfaces
• Support combustion

Enough molecular science, how do Autos benefit?

Tires inflated with nitrogen:

• Require less frequent top-ups
• Operate at a more stable pressure
• Run cooler and hold less heat
• Improve tire casing life
• Reduce rim corrosion

How do those benefits lower operating costs?

• Improves productivity by reducing tire top-ups.
• Improves fuel economy by reducing under inflation.
• Lowers tire costs by improving tread and casing life.
• Lowers blowout incidents and reduces wheel maintenance.

Is nitrogen inflation new?
No, it’s been used in aircraft, off road and auto racing tires for years.

Can I top-up a nitrogen inflated tire with air if necessary?
Yes, topping up a nitrogen inflated tire with air has no adverse affects.

Does running on Nitrogen require special equipment?
No, nitrogen requires no special equipment or changes to existing operating practices.
