NITROGEN IS HERE!!

Nitrogen is a non-flamable, dry gas that keeps your tires properly inflated longer than "regular air". Nitrogen provides better maintenance of tire pressure which helps: Fuel Economy, Tire Life, Safety & Reliability, Handling, and it Better for the Environment.

Nitrogen in tires is becoming a popular replacement for standard air. Nitrogen is all around us…the air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the rest is small amounts of other gases’. When it comes to tire inflation, nitrogen has many advantages over oxygen. With nitrogen tire inflation, improvements can be noted in a vehicle’s handling, fuel efficiency and tire temperatures. Here at bud’s Tire and Wheel our goal is to provide consumers, over-the-road truckers, fleet managers and others, information about the benefits of using nitrogen in tires.

TIRE PRESSURE
Because of its larger molecular size, nitrogen migrates through a tire three or four times slower then oxygen. A tire filled with “plain old air” will lose 1.5 PSI in less than a month; with nitrogen, this could take three months or longer.

FUEL ECONOMY
Proper tire pressure lessens rolling resistance and maximizes fuel efficiency.

TIRE LIFE
Under-inflated tires wear quickly on the shoulders and over-inflated tires wear in the center. In addition, removing oxygen eliminates oxidation and condensation that can damage inner liners, steel belts and rims.

SAFETY AND RELIABILITY
Under-inflated tires cause 90% of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential.

HANDLING
Proper tire inflation ensures the recommended “contact patch” of your tire is on the road.

BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Anything that improves fuel efficiency and reduces toxic emissions is good for the environment and nitrogen in your tires will help.
