Nitrogen Tire Inflation at Keyes Chevytown
Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated with NitroFill NitrogenAt Keyes Chevytown, proper tire care is an important part of keeping your Chevrolet performing at its best. Our NitroFill nitrogen tire inflation service replaces compressed air in your tires with high-purity nitrogen to help maintain more consistent tire pressure over time.Nitrogen inflation can reduce the rate at which pressure escapes through the tire compared with ordinary compressed air. In NHTSA laboratory testing, new tires filled with nitrogen experienced approximately two-thirds the pressure-loss rate of comparable tires filled with air. For $12 per tire, Keyes Chevytown can replace the compressed air in your tires with NitroFill nitrogen.Schedule your NitroFill service today at Keyes Chevytown.
What Is Nitrogen Tire Inflation?
Nitrogen is a dry, inert gas that can be used in place of conventional compressed air to inflate your vehicle's tires. The air we normally breathe is already approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. Nitrogen tire service increases the concentration of nitrogen inside the tire.
Because nitrogen permeates through tire rubber more slowly than oxygen, nitrogen-filled tires may retain inflation pressure longer than tires filled with ordinary compressed air.
Nitrogen vs. Compressed Air
Both nitrogen and compressed air can safely inflate your tires when used according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire pressure.
The primary advantage of nitrogen is slower pressure loss over time. Nitrogen inflation also reduces the amount of oxygen and moisture contained inside the tire.
General Motors recognizes that nitrogen inflation can reduce tire-pressure loss over time and reduce pressure variation associated with moisture under controlled conditions. However, GM also notes that these benefits may be smaller during normal real-world driving and that occasionally adding regular compressed air reduces the purity of the nitrogen mixture.
Benefits of Proper Tire Inflation
Regardless of whether your tires are filled with nitrogen or conventional air, maintaining the correct tire pressure is what matters most.
Properly inflated tires can help support:
- Consistent vehicle handling
- Proper tire wear
- Tire longevity
NHTSA recommends routinely checking tire pressure along with tire tread and overall tire condition as part of regular tire maintenance. [nhtsa.gov]
Why Choose NitroFill Nitrogen?
NitroFill nitrogen inflation offers a convenient way to help keep your tires at the proper pressure between tire checks.
Potential advantages include:
Support for Proper Tire Performance
Maintaining the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire pressure helps your tires perform as designed. Proper tire inflation is important for tire safety, wear and fuel efficiency. [nhtsa.gov],
More Consistent Tire Pressure
Nitrogen escapes through tire rubber more slowly than ordinary compressed air, which can help tires maintain inflation pressure longer. NHTSA laboratory testing found lower pressure-loss rates in nitrogen-filled tires than air-filled tires.
Less Moisture Inside the Tire
Nitrogen used for tire inflation is dry, while ordinary compressed air may contain water vapor. Reducing moisture can help minimize inflation-pressure variations associated with water vapor. General Motors identifies this as one of the potential benefits of nitrogen under controlled conditions.
Proper Tire Pressure Still Matters
Nitrogen isn't a replacement for routine tire maintenance.
Even with nitrogen-filled tires, drivers should periodically check tire pressure and inspect tires for damage or unusual tread wear. Always inflate tires according to the recommended cold tire pressure shown on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information label, typically located on the driver's door or door jamb.
Your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System can alert you when tire pressure becomes significantly low, but regular tire checks remain an important part of tire maintenance. NHTSA specifically emphasizes checking tire pressure, rotating tires and checking tread as part of tire care.
