DOES NITROGEN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TIRES?
Recently, some tire shops and filling stations have been offering Nitrogen (N2) as an inflation gas for passenger and light truck tires. Nitrogen is acceptable as an inflation gas for use in Bridgestone and Firestone passenger, light truck, and truck tires. Bridgestone and Firestone tire innerliners are designed to act as pressure retention devices, specifically with the use of air, providing durability for the life of the tire and restricting air loss due to permeability. Nitrogen will not cause any detrimental reaction to the innerliner. Bridgestone/Firestone passes no judgment on the claims stated by various Nitrogen suppliers.
