What Are Nitrogen-Filled Tires?

posted on 7/21/2022 12:21:48 PM
Your car's tires need proper inflation to carry the weight of the vehicle. Proper inflation provides the appropriate load capacity and enhances the tire's performance and durability, in addition to improved fuel economy. Your vehicle's tires should be inflated to the manufacturer's recommended air pressure. Accurate tire pressure can also increase your tire wear life and make your vehicle safer on the road. With the advancement in tire manufacturing and efficiency, you now can inflate your car's tires with either air or nitrogen. Nitrogen Filled Tires
 

Nitrogen-Filled Tires

Research has shown that nitrogen-filled tires lose pressure about 40 percent slower than regular air. Nitrogen-filled tires are an alternative to filling your tires with air for tire inflation. Nitrogen-filled tires can contain up to 98% of pure nitrogen, which helps tires maintain air pressure longer. Conventional air is made of around 78 percent nitrogen and just under 21 percent oxygen, water vapor, CO2, and other gases. Oxygen escapes quickly through tire rubber; nitrogen escapes 20-30% slower. 
 

Top Benefits of Nitrogen-Filled Tires

Tires are manufactured to offer drivers many miles of driving, but they must be properly maintained to do that. The most crucial part of tire maintenance is keeping the recommended tire inflation pressure. Nitrogen tire inflation provides better handling, fuel efficiency, and extended tire life. Other benefits of nitrogen-filled tires are:
  • Increased tread life
  • Better tire pressure retention
  • Cooler-running tire temperatures 
  • Better handling and performance
  • Extended tire lifespan
  • Maximizes tire pressure
