Service Information:
Surf any automobile tire-related website, you’ll see something mentioned about nitrogen inflation.  There have been a number of inquires concerning this practice.  When it comes to inflating automobile tires, dry compressed air – which is 80% nitrogen already is the best choice. The benefits of using nitrogen don’t appear to outweigh those of using compressed air.  This practice isn’t anything new; its been around a long time.  It’s been commonly used on aerospace vehicles, commercial and military aircraft, military vehicles, race cars and even heavy off-road construction equipment.  Automobile tires, on the other hand, are subjected to an entirely different set of conditions.
