With nitrogen, you can expect to improve the vehicle’s overall fuel efficiency as the tires are more likely to have properly inflated pressure with nitrogen gas. Also, having the right inflation will result in improved handling of the vehicle and longevity of the tires.
When you are driving your vehicle, it is the air inside the tires that is handling the weight of the vehicle, not the tires themselves. The role of the tires is to hold the air and allow for traction from the road. It is not just about the inflated pressure but also about what type of gas you have inside the tires. In a nitrogen tire service, the tires are inflated with nitrogen instead of the more commonly used air. Keep in mind that regular air is also made of 78% nitrogen, so with nitrogen tire service, you get 100% pure nitrogen in the tires.
There are some important benefits of using nitrogen in the tires compared to air. Nitrogen gas is inert, which means it does not react with other chemicals or form any kind of moisture, as it doesn’t have any water molecules. No water is great for the vehicles’ metal components such as the wheels, which can rust with a combination of water and air. Another major advantage of nitrogen in tires is that the nitrogen molecules are four times larger than air molecules, so they are less prone to leakage. Your tires have microscopic holes that allow the air or nitrogen to escape gradually. With nitrogen in the tires, you can go longer without getting an inflation service.
