 | | | | | | | | | Did You Know? | | Compressed air - the traditional medium for tire inflation - contains both nitrogen and oxygen molecules. A tire is essentially a rubber membrane through which these molecules permeate. Unfortunately, oxygen leaks up to four times faster than nitrogen. Oxygen also oxidizes the rubber compounds in tires, causing deterioration from the inside out. Regular compressed air is also typically prone to condensation, foreign particulates, and other contaminates. Once inside a tire, these can cause further deterioration to the rubber compounds, rim, and valve stem core. If all this leakage, oxidation, and deterioration goes unchecked, under-inflation occurs, creating a host of problems such as excessive tire wear, reduced gas mileage, or worse... the risk of dangerous blow-outs. Government and industry studies suggest roughly 60 percent of tire blow-outs are caused by under-inflated tires. When you consider that an estimated four of every five vehicles on the road today are riding on under-inflated tires, there's danger all around us. | | A Matter of Inflation | | | 
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Why Nitrogen? | | Nitrogen is the clean, inert gas that comprises 78 percent of the air we breathe. Not only is nitrogen abundantly available, it's also a safe, more beneficial alternative to regular compressed air. Nitrogen makes tires perform better, last longer, and function with a greater degree of safety than tires inflated with regular compressed air. Enhanced Safety - Tires filled with nitrogen maintain their pressure up to 40% longer than regular compressed air, which means greater handling, control, and grip, minimizing the danger of catastrophic road failure. Longer Tire Life - Industry field tests suggest tires inflated with nitrogen can last up to 30% longer. Since nitrogen is a clean, moisture-free gas, it slows down internal tire oxidation, which slows down the aging of your tires. Better Fuel Economy - With improved tire inflation comes improved gas mileage - by as much as 6%. As you can see, there are clear reasons to get with the nitrogeneration. | | Airing Out the Differences. | | | 
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get N² Your Tires | | Even with nitrogen in your tires, it's still important to check your tire pressure periodically. So, the next time you pull in for routine service, have your tires checked and re-inflated or topped off with nitrogen. It's a very simple, accessible, and affordable process that pays dividends in terms of enhanced safety, better fuel economy, and longer tire life.

 | Nitrogen Tire Inflation Systems |
We keep them filled for the life of the tire 1)Maintains tire pressure longer than compressed air 2)Better steering, braking and handling 4)Tires run cooler, reducing chance of failure 5)Non-corrosive to aluminum wheels
2)Optimum tire pressure means tires last longer 3)Saves time: less tire pressure maintenance
Nitrogen Tire Filling. A competitive advantage. Now, Johnny Wheels offers you a choice. You can use nitrogen, not ambient air, to fill tires with the new Nitrogen Tire Inflation System. A revolutionary technology in tire inflation. You gain a competitive edge by enhanced tire pressure retention. Bringing tire inflation and, in turn, travel to a new level. Improving tire performance, road safety and cost savings for our customers. Better air pressure retention. The single biggest reason for tire failure is lack of maintenance of tire
pressure. In fact, 54 percent of all vehicles on the road have low tire pressure. Oxygen in compressed air can permeate the tire wall reducing tire pressure. With nitrogen, diffusion is 30 to 40 percent slower than oxygen. As a result, nitrogen maintains tire pressure longer than ambient air. Enhanced fuel economy. Maintaining tire pressure can boost fuel economy by as much as 6 percent. Nitrogen disperses heat more quickly than ambient air. By restraining the heat in the tire and reducing rolling resistance, you get better fuel economy. Longer tread life. With quicker heat dispersion, you get a cooler running tire which helps extend tread life and reduce tire failure. Nitrogen also prevents oxidation which can not only lead to tread separation and belt failure but, when combined with moisture, corrode rims. In fact, moisture can result in rust flakes that can fall into the valve stem, block the valve and cause under-pressurization. It can even cause the valve stem itself to rust. Slow chemical aging. Filling a tire with nitrogen also significantly slows the chemical aging process of the tire’s rubber components. This leads to fewer catastrophic failures like blowouts. Slower aging lengthens tire core life, which yields extra retreads and lower fleet costs.
Ingersoll Rand Nitrogen Generators. The tire industry’s preferred technology. Nitrogen Generators employ advanced membrane technology for flawless performance, day in and day out. Nitrogen Generators are comprised of a bundle of hollow-fiber membranes that separate nitrogen from the air. When the compressed air passes through the fibers, oxygen and other trace gases permeate the membrane, due to their smaller molecular size and higher molecular bond strength. Nitrogen, which doesn’t permeate the membrane, flows through the outlet port to the application. | |
