The proper alignment of your car’s tires are crucial in order for it to perform adequately. When mechanics talk about tire alignment, they are looking specifically at toe, camber, and caster alignment. Having your wheels aligned correctly will help keep you safe on the road and boost your fuel economy.
What Does Alignment Refer To?
When someone tells you that your tires need to be aligned, they are referring to adjusting the vehicle’s suspension so that the wheels are angled correctly. Wheels can be adjusted by placing the car on an alignment rack and having a computer measure the angles of the
wheels. The person working on your car will then adjust the wheels based on these measurements.
The book spans the last 100 years of Nitrogen's use on the planet. From German scientists development of Nitrogen in 1913, as the key chemical in the production of weapons at a time that led to German imperialism and the rise of the Nazi party.
Liquid Nitrogen's utilization as the core chemical that gave rise to fertilizers that changed forever the food supply and fostered population growth around the planet from 1.8B in 1915 to 7.2B in 2015, are but two of the important stories that are explored in detail in this fascinating book.
Nitrogen tire inflation improves fuel efficiency by maintaining proper tire pressure for a longer period of time. Proper tire pressure improves fuel efficiency anywhere from three to six percent. That might not seem like a lot, but with gas prices the way that they are, the less money we can throw away, the better.
Nitrogen-filled tires have a longer life because they don't have the corrosive properties that come with air-filled tires, mainly the oxygen and the water vapor. Not only does oxidation ruin the rubber in the tire, but both the oxidation and the water vapor can affect the aluminum and steel wheels on the inside.
Nitrogen-filled tires create a smoother, safer ride. With underinflated tires, there is less contact area between the tire and the road surface. This leads to reduced steering control and a greater potential for blowouts.
Nitrogen-filled tires are a way to go green. Over 300 million tires are disposed of every year, and nitrogen tire inflation can reduce this amount by 30%. Also consider the fuel savings as another way to go green and to cut down on carbon emissions.
Using nitrogen tire inflation 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.

Tires are designed for a specific pressure, and fuel economy improves by over 3% when that pressure is conserved. However, the US Department of Energy estimates that incorrectly inflated tires waste 3.56 million gallons of gas each year. When tires are filled with nitrogen, they lose pressure four times slower than air-filled tires. Conserving the pressure of tires improves fuel economy, and charge is used more efficiently in the case of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles bring several environmental benefits by themselves, even before adding nitrogen-filled tires. They can run with renewable energy sources, something that is not possible with gas cars. A common argument against...
Nitrogen is about safety, money savings through fuel economy, and improve our environment through longer lasting tires.
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.
