Weighing the Added Benefits of Nitrogen

Filling tires with nitrogen is still viable, and probably will be for some time to come. The only question facing the consumer is whether the price to fill tires with the gas is worth it, especially as the economy struggles. Some tire dealers are even offering nitrogen inflation for free, which could be a good way to bring back customers in this difficult economic period.

Since 1967, the question of filling tires with nitrogen has captured the imagination of scientists, tire dealers and consumers alike. Here’s what we know: nitrogen exceeds oxygen in better air retention. Those using nitrogen will experience diffusion through the sidewall some 30% to 40% slower than those choosing regular air.

Also, maintaining proper tire pressure boosts fuel economy by lowering rolling resistance; some say as high as 8%, others a bit less. But by any measure, restraining heat buildup in the tire and reducing rolling resistance offers better fuel economy.

Nitrogen inflation leaves us with a cooler running tire, just ask NASCAR and other race series. With quicker heat dispersion, a cooler running tire extends tire life and reduces tire failure.

Nitrogen also prevents oxidation of exposed cords, which can lead to tread separation and belt failure, and when combined with moisture can corrode wheels. In fact, moisture can result in rust flakes that can fall into the valve stem, blocking the valve and causing inflation problems. It can even cause the valve stem itself to ru...
