What are the effects of using pure nitrogen to inflate tires?
• Nitrogen is a gas and is still affected by changes in ambient temperature (about one psi for every 10 Fahrenheit). Nitrogen filled tires will require pressure be added during the fall/winter months as ambient temperatures and tire pressures drop. Nitrogen is good but can’t change the laws of physics. • Nitrogen reduces the loss of tire pressure due to permeation through rubber over time by about 1/3. This helps maintain the vehicle’s required tire pressures a little longer, but doesnt eliminate the need for monthly tire pressure checks. This is good for people who dont maintain their vehicles well. • Nitrogen is non-corrosive and will reduce oxidation and rust due to the absence of oxygen and moisture. This will help minimize wheel corrosion to promote better bead sealing. Tires that are used routinely will be replaced long before any life benefit would be received by using Nitrogen. This is most beneficial for drivers who drive their vehicles infrequently (car collectors, track driv
