The most significant benefit of filing automobile tires with nitrogen is enhanced safety. And then there is the marvelous drive that you can feel on totally inflated tires while simultaneously you are saving 3.3% in fuel savings!
Why nitrogen? The air we breathe, the air around us is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gasses. At Bergeron Motors we remove the compressed air and replace it with 100% nitrogen. You ask why? Because oxygen molecules pass through the rubber, nitrogen molecules do not! At no time have you ever driven on fully inflated tires. When your tires have been filled with nitrogen, you can just feel the difference ....no resistance! In addition to improving your drive and fuel efficiency , by maintaining constant inflation you will reduce overheating of the tires and optimize your tire's performance. The tires just longer .....And with a dry inert gas dry nitrogen helps the tire to run cooler. Just ask the NASCAR driver, or the commercial airline pilot, they will tell you for safety all commercial aircraft and NASCAR race cars ride on nitrogen inflated tires. Truly the 21st Century of improved automotive performance has come to Bergeron Volvo. Perhaps when you schedule an oil change ask one of our service advisers to schedule adding nitrogen to the tires in your car instead of compressed air. You ask, "What if I have a flat?" You can add compressed air when the tire is repaired, just return your automobile to Bergeron Volvo and we will replace the compressed air with nitrogen ...at no charge!
A final note, have you ever wondered why your bicycle tires go flat? It is simply because the oxygen molecules permeate the tire walls thus reducing the tire's inflation pressure. And during its journey through the tire wall, oxygen oxidizes the rubber compounds in the tire causing under-inflation and deteriorated rubber ..... And as we have already told you, you save 3.3% each time you fill up your Volvo or other fine car with gasoline.
