Many people mindlessly fill their tires with regular old breathing air not knowing the benefits that can be seen by filling up with Nitrogen instead!
The
Benefits of nitrogen inflation are:
-3 to 6 percent proven increase in gas milage
-extended tire life
-better retention of pressure
-increased safety from blowouts due to under inflation (great benefit for those that don't regularly check and inflate their tires)
-increased TPMS performance
-more consistent fluctuation from cold to hot tires. Huge benefit for auto crossers and road racers. Spend less time adjusting pressures!
-less wheel corrosion due to moisture in the air charge
The benefits come from the reduction of oxygen and water vapor in the air charge. Water vapor leaks out of your tires 250 times faster then Nitrogen. Oxygen leaks out 4-5 times faster then Nitrogen. By eliminating those gasses from the fill up you maintain consistent and accurate pressures much much longer.
Nitrogen is the largest gas particle in air and therefor escapes your tires much more slowly compared to the other particles. A higher percentage of nitrogen allows the benefits listed above.
Nitrogen tire inflation is just one of the many services we offer here at R/T Tuning to compliment our service and alignment divisions. This is a service that local road racers, club racers, autoXers, and drifters all rely on us for.
