What are the benefits of Nitrogen filled tires?
Nitrogen fill tires will benefit from two things; they will retain tire pressure longer and will age chemically more slowly. Proper tire inflation pressure will maximize your tires performance and your cars handling and braking. It will also improve gas efficiency and by minimizing the flex in the tire sidewall, lower the temperature of your tires. By eliminating most of the oxygen in your tires, the tire’s components cannot rust or age as fast. Just like steel rust, rubber ages. Is Nitrogen dangerous? No, absolutely not. Nitrogen is an inert gas, which means it will not burn. Why haven’t I heard of Nitrogen tire filling before? In the past Nitrogen was very costly to obtain for tire inflation. The gas had to be purchased in liquid form, as well as, purchase of the bottle. New technology has enabled Ingersoll Rand to offer a line of Nitrogen tire inflation systems at a price that can be profitable for the auto service center.
