Nitrogen Filled Tires
Nitrogen is a non-flammable, dry gas that keeps your tire properly inflated longer than "plain old air".
Nitrogen provides better maintenance of tire pressure
which maximizes:
• Fuel Economy
• Safety & Reliability
• Tire Life
• Handling
... and it's better for the environment!

Tire Pressure
Because of its larger molecular size, nitrogen migrates through a tire three to four times slower than oxygen. A tire filled with
"plain old air" will lose 1.5 PSI in less than a month; with nitrogen, this could take three months or longer. |
Fuel Economy
Proper tire pressure lessens rolling resistance and maximizes fuel efficiency. |
 |
Tire Life
Under-inflated tires wear quickly on the shoulders and over-inflated tires wear in the center. In addition, removing oxygen eliminates
oxidation and condensation that can damage inner liners, stell belts and rims.
Safety & Reliability
Uner-inflated tires cause 90‰ of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential.
Handling
Proper tire inflation ensures the recommended "contact patch" of your tire is on the road.
... and it's better for the environment!
Anything that improves fuel efficiency and reduces toxic emissions is good for the environment and nitrogen
in your tires will help. |

Go ahead, "top it off!"
It's best to use nitrogen in your tires whenever possible,
but if you run
into a situation where you can't get it, no
problem. Go ahead and
"top off" your tires with air. When
you get a chance, head back
to the dealer who inflated your
tires with nitrogen for a refill. |
