Using Nitrogen versus conventional air in a tire effectively maintains the correct amount of tire pressure for longer and as a result, creates a smoother ride while improving steering and braking, while reducing the possibility of blowouts. Conventional air filled in a tire contains 21% oxygen with varying moisture amount. Air permeates through a tire wall over 3 to 4 times faster than Nitrogen, according to a Bridgestone statement. Oxygen molecules and moisture cause the air to diffuse thru tire rubber, THE basis for slow leaks, and deterioration of the tire and its durability. Another great advantage is the convenience of not having to refill tires as often. All American made cars fitted with tire pressure sensors will benefit because nitrogen reduces TPMS exposure to oxygen and moisture.
"Gas mileage is king these days. People are buying fuel-efficient cars, taking less road trips, anything to reduce money spent on gas. But one of the real culprits may be under-inflated tires, which can decrease gas mileage up to 10 percent.
Tennesse-based GoNitroTire takes tire efficiency one step further, providing a product to fill your tires with nitrogen instead of oxygen. We discussed this technology with GoNitroTire Founder Ken Lawton..."

From the New York Times: June 14, 2008
Making City Buses Run Cleaner Yields a Big Bonus: Fewer Trips to the Gas Pump Studies have shown that nitrogen is better for tires than plain air, according to Stephen Martini, the assistant chief officer of maintenance for the department of buses. Nitrogen leaks from the tires at a slower rate, meaning they have to be filled less often. And the pressure in nitrogen-filled tires is more likely to remain constant despite fluctuations in temperature. Normally, the pressure in air-filled tires rises as they heat up and falls as they cool...
According to Fleet Equipment Magazine (FEM), Technology & Maintenance Council, Rubber Manufactures' Association (RMA), and Bridgestone/Firestone's TireSafety.com, the single most important factor for increasing tire life is maintaining proper air pressure, with Nitrogen Tire Inflation this is accomplished more easily.

Nitrogen-filled tires help maintain correct tire pressure for longer periods of time, as it is a larger molecule. This results in increased fuel efficiency, longer tire life, and increased safety.
