WHY YOU NEED TO
GO GREEN
Nitrogen is becoming a popular
replacement for standard air in motor
vehicle tires because of the amazing
benefits it provides.
Oxygen is a component of water
and the catalyst of oxidation (rust,
corrosion and rot). Without the presence
of oxygen there is no opportunity for rust
or corrosion to occur or condensation
to form.
Additionally, and more importantly,
oxygen has a very small molecular
structure. So small that it is normal for
air filled tires to lose 1-3 psi/month from
permeation (the process through
which the oxygen molecules in
compressed air seep through the
structure of a tire).
Nitrogen, on the other hand, has a
very large molecular structure and the
use of nitrogen can virtually eliminate
pressure loss from permeation.
WHAT NITROGEN FILLED
TIRES DO FOR YOU
99 Maintain proper/safe tire pressure
99 Increase tire life by up to 30%
99 Improve fuel economy
99 Improve braking and handling
99 Stabilize tire pressure during
temperature fluctuations
99 Reduce wheel and rim corrosion
99 Reduces the chance of tire failure
by up to 50%
WHAT MAKES NITROGEN
SO SPECIAL
It is exactly what nitrogen “isn’t” that
makes it such a beneficial inflation
medium. Nitrogen is an inert gas,
so by definition, it is “nothing”, and
that is exactly what you want in
your tires: nothing, except proper
pressure.
The air we breathe is about 79%
nitrogen. The reason air is such a
poor inflation product is that it also
contains about 20% oxygen. While
oxygen is essential for human survival,
it is harmful to just about everything
that is not a living organism.
While air is not ideal for tires,
compressed air is even worse. Running
air through a compressor typically
adds trace amounts of oil and
particulate, as well as water vapour…
none of which are recommended
for a tire.
So, simply put, nitrogen is air that
has been cleaned and stripped of
all particulate, oil, water and oxygen,
leaving an inflation medium that is
pure…and stays put.
