Nitrogen – the FUTURE of Tire Pressure
Nitrogen is a non-flammable dry gas that keeps your tires properly inflated longer than “plain old air.” (Oxygen leaks out of a tire 3 to 4 times faster than nitrogen.)
Nitrogen provides better maintenance of tire pressure, which MAXIMIZES…
FUEL ECONOMY
HANDLING
SAFETY & RELIABILITY
TIRE LIFE
…AND IT’S BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!!!
NASA, the U.S. Military, Boeing, Indy and NASCAR race teams all use nitrogen in their tires, and for good reason. Nitrogen provides more consistent tire pressure for better handling, enhanced safety and longer tire life. You might not be flying the Space Shuttle or driving a race car at 200 mph, but you deserve the same benefits.
When you factor in better fuel economy and fewer tire purchases, nitrogen pays for itself in no time! PLUS, it’s better for the environment - Anything that improves fuel efficiency and reduces toxic emissions is good for the environment!
Your Return on Investment:
1.) $50 per year in fuel savings
15,000 miles per year @ 20 MPG = 750 gallons
$2/Gallon = $1,500
3.3% fuel savings = $50
Proper tire pressure lessens rolling resistance and maximizes fuel efficiency.
2.) $80 – Increased Tire Life
average tire @ $100 x 4
Extends life 20% = $80
Under-inflated tires wear quickly on the shoulders. Over-inflated tires wear in the center. In addition, removing oxygen eliminates oxidation and condensation that can damage inner liners, steel belts and rims.
$50+$80 = $130 potential savings
3.) Increased Safety
50-70 deaths and 10,000 injuries
occur each year due to
under-inflated tires*
Under-inflated tires cause 90% of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential.
