Nitrogen Inflation
Why is the industy switchingto nitrogen?
How nitrogen works and what it does
Nitrogen (N2) makes up the majority of the air that we breathe and is contained in the protein of all life on earth. It is colorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. The next most common component of air is oxygen (O2). Together N2 and O2 make up approximately 99% of the air we breathe and traditionally fill tires with.
Nitrogen inflated tires are safer and longer lasting than tires inflated with air
- Nitrogen inflated tires do not age as quickly as air inflated tires
- Nitrogen inflated tires minimize blowouts
- Nitrogen inflated tires improve vehicle handling through proper inflation
- Nitrogen is an inert, non-combustible and non-flammable gas
- Nitrogen is a stable gas providing more constant pressure
- Nitrogen is a dry gas with no corrosive properties as found in compressed air
