Why is the industry switching to nitrogen??

N₂ is a larger molecule than O²

Therefore, it cannot escape as easily as oxygen through porous material such as a rubber tire wall. Leaking at a much slower rate than oxygen, a tire filled with a higher percentage of nitrogen gas maintains its proper pressure roughly three to four times longer than air-filled tires. Proper inflation provides better fuel economy, superior handling, longer tire life, and increased safety by reducing the likelihood of low pressure related loss of control, blowouts and other tire failures.

N₂ is non-flammable

Oxygen is a flammable gas while Nitrogen is an extinguishing gas. Thus, a large number of mass transportation companies around the world fill their tires with Nitrogen for added fire and explosion safety. In a vehicle fire, ruptured air-filled tires fuel the fire. Nitrogen filled tires slow the fire.

Correct inflation vs. under-inflation

Correct inflation is highly significantwhen considering tire life and performance. It is not always possible to look at a tire and detect under-inflation. However, under-inflation can cause many tire related problems. As inflation pressure largely determines a tire’s load capacity, under-inflation results in an overloaded tire. An under-inflated tire operates at high deflection resulting in decreased fuel economy, sluggish handling and may result in excessive mechanical flexing and heat build up, leading to catastrophic tire failure.

Why is the industry switching to nitrogen??

Nitrogen has been used in tires for many years on aircraft, military vehicles, off road trucks, racecars, Tour de France bicycles and even NASA spacecrafts.

Why is the industry switching to nitrogen??

N₂ is a dry, inert gas

Oxygen in a tire provides unwanted oxidation. Over time, this reaction destroys the tire carcass and corrrodes wheels. A tire is prematurely aged by Oxygen from the inside-out as the pressurized air in the tire makes the Oxygen try to escape through the tire carcass, speeding up the damaging oxidation process. Nitrogen on the other hand, is a harmless inert gas that does not react negatively with tires and wheels. Nitrogen filled tires also reduce tire heat, thereby decreasing rolling resistance and increasing fuel economy.
