Nitrogen
Why we recommend
Nitrogen
We
recommend you have your tires inflated with nitrogen gas instead of
normal air. This
technology is not new to tires and in fact, has been used for years
in
airplane
tires, racing tires and subway tires.
We
are now able to offer you the same benefits that these critical
applications
have enjoyed
and we can offer them at a very reasonable
cost.
This movement to nitrogen inflation is being supported by all major
tire
manufacturers including
Bridgestone, Firestone, Kumho and Toyo. Their support has been
very
pro
active through published statements to the tire industry in
general, to their
dealers
and customers and to other equipment industry
suppliers.
Some of the benefits of nitrogen filled tires versus air filled
tires
are:
- Slower drop in pressure. This
means less chance of running tires under inflated
- (Under inflated tires
consume more fuel, develop irregular wear patterns and wear out
prematurely.)
- Less moisture present.
This means temperature changes alter tire pressure only
on a very minimal basis.
- Less oxidation, the
reduced moisture also means less oxidation (rusting) of tire and
wheel components.
We encourage you to discuss the subject of nitrogen inflated
tires with our
knowledgeable
staff. We will be more than happy to fully discuss all aspects of
using nitrogen to
inflate your
tires answer.
