Ever notice your tires loose air pressure in the winter? Why is that? One reason is that air is much more susceptible to temperature changes than other gases like nitrogen. There are several compelling reasons to use pure nitrogen in tires.
First is that nitrogen is less likely to migrate through tire rubber than is oxygen, which means that your tire pressures will remain more stable over the long term. Tires filled with nitrogen rather than air also exhibit less pressure change with temperature swings. That means more consistent inflation pressures in cold and heat.
Your vehicle can benefit from the more stable tire pressures and your tires will wear more evenly. But there's more: Humidity (water) is a Bad Thing to have inside a tire. Water, present as a vapor or even as a liquid in a tire, causes more of a pressure change with temperature swings than dry air does. It also promotes corrosion of the steel or aluminum rim. Nitrogen filled tires keep the moisture out.
With nitrogen, your tire pressures will remain more constant, saving you a small amount in fuel and tire-maintenance costs. There will be less moisture inside your tires, meaning less corrosion on your wheels. You will not be able to feel any difference in the ride or handling or braking but you will notice that you won't be out in the cold putting air in your tires! All new vehicle bought at Hubler dealerships come with nitrogen in the tires for free. If you have any questions about nitrogen just ask any of our advisors in the service department.
