Did you know that Nitrogen is thicker than air?  Many people think that putting Nitrogen in your tires instead of air is a gimmick but it actually is not. Nitrogen is a dry gas which disperses heat more rapidly resulting in cooler running tires.  This preserves the integrity of the rubber, belts, and bead.  Nitrogen permeates through the tire at a rate of 35% slower than oxygen (air), thus resulting in consistent inflation, improved tread life, improved vehicle handling, and improved fuel efficiency.  Passenger cars realize 2-3 miles per gallon gains (4% on average) and trucks realize gains of 2+%.  At 4% fuel efficiency enhancement, the savings are significant to the car owner. 

 

Did you know that the space shuttle and commercial airlines already use Nitrogen in their tires? Next time you're in ask about placing Nitrogen in your tires.
