Benefits of Nitrogen Tire Inflation
Running under-inflated tires is a problem for many consumers, and nitrogen tire inflation can provide the solution. By offering UltraFill nitrogen tire inflation, you can help your customers maintain optimum tire pressure longer. They can enjoy more convenience and piece of mind, and benefit from tires that perform better, last longer, and provide superior fuel economy.
Safer, smoother ride
With under-inflated tires, there is less contact area between the tire and the road surface. This leads to reduced braking, steering control and a greater potential for blowouts. Properly inflated tires give drivers the control they need for a safer, smoother ride.
Better gas mileage
By maintaining proper tire pressure with high-purity Nitrogen Inflation, tire rolling resistance is reduced, helping to maximize vehicle fuel efficiency. With todays high price of gasoline, this can be a major advantage to your customers.
Longer tire life
Under-inflated tires wear prematurely due to uneven road contact. Maintaining proper inflation longer can help increase tire life. High-purity nitrogen-filled tires retain proper pressure longer, so they won't wear as quickly. Plus, replacing damp compressed air in tires with dry, inert, nitrogen can help to eliminate internal tire degradation and prevent rusting of the rim.
Convenience
With high-purity nitrogen tire inflation, your customers won't need to refill their tires as frequently.
