Nitrogen tire inflation is not the wave of the future – it’s the best choice for the here and now and we’re pleased to report that it’s available at most of The Tire Choice & Total Car Care locations throughout Florida. Race cars, commercial airplanes and semi-trucks have used nitrogen in tires for years due to their many benefits, and now a number of car dealerships offer this service in the cars they sell. Nitrogen gas is far superior to filling up with “just air” – and experts know it. Nitrogen keeps your tires cooler, slows tire pressure loss, and stops oxygen from breaking down your tire from the inside out. Adding nitrogen inflation saves you 10% in fuel costs and your tires can last up to 30% longer!
Those statistics sound good, but what they mean to you, our customer, is money in your pocket. Visit our Nitrogen Savings Calculator to find out exactly how much you could save by switching to nitrogen. Just enter the number of miles you drive each year, the cost of your tires, the current gas price, and your vehicle’s miles per gallon (mpg.). Depending on your car and how much you drive, the savings can be $200 or more every year.
The savings is due to a combination of increased gas mileage and reduced tire wear with nitrogen versus air. As many as 30 percent of cars on the road have one tire that is grossly underinflated - by as much as 10 pounds per square inch (psi.) Driving with such low pressure puts more stress on your tires – they become misshapen and wear significantly faster. The odd shape makes the car harder to move down the road, causing the car to work more and lowering your average mpg. Nitrogen inflated tires lose pressure significantly slower than air inflated tires, keeping your tires in the optimum shape much longer. The United States Government estimates more than $10 million in gas is wasted every week due to underinflated tires. And nitrogen inflation can reduce the headaches caused by your TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) indicator light coming on every few months due to low air pressure. Most cars have a TPMS and every time the light comes on, you’re compelled to stop and check your tire pressure and adjust as needed. Using nitrogen will reduce occurrences of tire pressure loss and save you money and time.
