Here's a partial list of reasons HQ
Automotive decided to use Nitrogen Inflation.
Automotive decided to use Nitrogen Inflation.
More about Nitrogen:
- Used in airplanes (On large planes it's a law, they must use it)
- Used in race cars
- Larger Molecule, results in less pressure leakage (Nitrogen may take
6 months to lose 2psi through the tire compared to 1 month with air) - No moisture content
- Tests have shown a 26% increase in tire life in over the road trucks,
Plus significantly less blow outs. - Better fuel economy (due to tire remaining at proper pressure better)
- Less tire wear due to the tire running cooler, Less oxidation of the
rubber, and remaining at proper pressure better
HQ uses nitrogen with over a 99% purity level.
