Nitrogen Air on Motorcycle Tyre

nitrogen offered several benefit like
• Less inflation pressure loss
• Reduced wheel corrosion
• Prevents inner-liner rubber deterioration by oxidation
• Tires run cooler
• Increases tread life
• Increases fuel mileage
• Helps prevent uneven wear


Why Nitrogen?

Safer, smother ride

With under-inflated tires, there is less contact area between the tire and the road surface. This leads to less braking and 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 today’ high price of gasoline, this can be a major advantage to you.

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, you won't need to refill their tires as frequently


Oxidation

Air is about 1/5 Oxygen, and oxygen, especially at high pressures and temperatures, is a very reactive element.
When oxygen reacts with things, the process is called oxidation. When oxidation is extremely rapid, it's called "burning”.

That's one reason nitrogen is used in off-highway and aircraft tires. These tires runs on oxygen get so hot, they can actually catch on fire. Nitrogen doesn't support combustion, so nitrogen-filled tires don't add fuel to the flames. And nitrogen helps prevent slower forms of oxidation also.

Nitrogen prevents corrosion of tires.

Oxygen and moisture corrodes aluminum and steel wheels. Oxygen also reacts with rubber, another type of "corrosion". When this corrosion starts, the small particles break off and form rust and dust, which can clog valve cores, causing them to leak. The rough surfaces created from the corrosive action on the wheels leads to tire beads that don't seal properly, causing additional leaks.


It's not about the nitrogen. It's about reducing oxygen, water vapor and other gases.

By reducing the percentage of oxygen, water vapor and other gases in your tires from 22% to 7% or lower, your tires will maintain proper pressure longer than if you use “plain old air.” For example, with 95% nitrogen in your tires, they retain optimal pressure three to four times longer.

Longer Rim Life

Rim rust caused by condensation from water vapor and other gases can get caught in valves and create slow leak in tires. Nitrogen is completely dry, so it eliminates the potential for condensation.



Frequently Asked Questions.

Will my tires have 100% Nitrogen after they are filled?

In reality, no. The generator puts out 98% pure Nitrogen. On a deflated tire, there is still some air present, so after you refill with nitrogen, you'll end up with about 95% nitrogen, which is enough to do the job. That can be increased slightly by filling up the tire with nitrogen without a valve core in the valve stem, and then letting the tire deflate. Then install the valve core and refill to normal pressure with the nitrogen. (Purging)

Is Nitrogen explosive?

No, in fact, nitrogen is very inert and safe. Nitrogen is the most commonly used chemical in the USA. It is used for storing and packaging of snack foods, coffee, and other food items.

Will Nitrogen affect the tire pressure monitoring system on my vehicle?

Yes. Nitrogen will help maintain proper inflation in your tires and reduce the number of faults detected by the TPMS.

Do I still need to check tire pressure?

Yes. But, you will find the tire pressure to be much more consistent.

What about my spare tire?

You should certainly inflate your spare with nitrogen to help maintain proper inflation when it comes time you need to use it. Because of the slower air pressure loss of nitrogen through the sidewalls, your spare is more likely to be at proper pressure over a long time than if it was filled with regular air.

Will Nitrogen affect my ceramic Dyna Beads?

No, in fact, you couldn't find a better operating environment for this tire balancing product than a tire filled with nitrogen.

What do I do if I have to add air?

No problem at all. The small amount of air you may add at some point will still be a very small percentage of the total mixture of air/nitrogen in the tire.
