Using high purity Nitrogen to inflate tires is nothing new. Nitrogen has been used for years to help increase safety and tire performance in airplane tires, military vehicles, race cars, construction and transport vehicles. In fact, all commercial aircraft in North America are required by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to have high purity Nitrogen in their tires.

The #1 cause of tire failure is under inflated tires. Nitrogen is a safe, inert, dry gas. Nitrogen helps maintain the correct tire pressure longer and is less susceptible to temperature change.

Did You Know?The #1 cause of tire failure is under inflated tires.
Nitrogen is a safe, inert, dry gas. Nitrogen helps maintainthe correct tire pressure longer and is less susceptible totemperature change. Compared to oxygen, Nitrogen isa larger molecule and diffuses through the tire wall at amuch slower rate. Therefore your tires remain properlyinflated for a longer period of time, using less fuel andproviding increased safety.
The compressed air traditionally used to inflate tirescontains significant amounts of oxygen and moisture.Oxygen in compressed air permeates through the wallof the tire reducing tire pressure. As oxygen seepsthrough the tire, it oxidizes the rubber causing under-inflation and deteriorated rubber. In addition, oxygenattacks the wheel itself which may result in wheelcorrosion and tire pressure loss. Since temperaturechanges cause regular air to expand and contract morethan Nitrogen, tire pressures can change drastically.As temperature drops so does tire pressure, resulting indangerous under inflation, loss of handling, decreasedsafety and increased fuel consumption.

ENHANCED SAFETY
IMPROVED FUEL EFFICIENCY
EXTENDED TIRE LIFE
IMPROVED ROAD GRIP & HANDLING
SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The Government of Canada states:"Under-inflated tires increase fuel consumption."
— Transport Canada
"Operating a vehicle with just one tireunder-inflated by 56KPa (8 psi) can reducethe life of the tire by 15,000 km and can
increase the vehicle's fuel consumption by 4%."— Government of Canada
En vironmen ta /Benefits
In North America, over 7 million litres of fuel iswasted each day due to vehicles driven on underinflated tires. Nitrogen keeps tires properlyinflated for a longer period of time improvingfuel efficiency by up to 4%. Less fuel used notonly saves money but reduces carbon emissions.For every one litre of fuel saved, approximately5 pounds of carbon dioxide is not released intothe air we breathe.
Nitrogen also helps tires last longer, reducing thenumber of tire replacements and therefore fewertires end up in the landfill.
