You may have heard the buzz surrounding nitrogen tyre inflation. Traditionally, only motorsport vehicles, off-road vehicles and aircrafts used this method of tyre inflation and enjoyed the benefits however, there has been a tremendous amount of research done recently on the benefits of nitrogen for passenger and SUV vehicles too. This has resulted in nitrogen inflation stations popping up in tyre shops and mechanical workshops all over the world.
So what are the benefits:
- Nitrogen is less likely to leak from the tyre so tyre pressure will be more stable long term
- The stable tyre pressure increases its handling abilities
- The stable tyre pressure reduces rolling resistance which reduces your vehicles fuel consumption
- Nitrogen inflation reduces the running temperature of the tyre meaning that the tyre runs cooler and has less friction thus increasing tyre life
- Nitrogen inflation reduces tyre and rim damage from humidity
Nitrogen inflation is offered at Action Tyres & More both in store and in the mobile fitting van.
