As City Tire strives to offer its’ customers the latest technology and expertise in the tire industry, we have rolled out Nitrogen inflation in our Springfield, MA location! Nitrogen inflation offers many safety and tire maintenance benefits that regular inflation does not.

Most importantly, Nitrogen inflation increases tire safety. Underinflated tires cause 90% of tire blowouts experienced by drivers. Due to the larger molecule size of Nitrogen, less air is allowed to escape through the body of the tire. A tire using regular air can lose up to 1.5 psi per month. It could take up to 6 months to lose that much pressure with a Nitrogen inflated tire, thereby decreasing the potential for a tire blowout.

Inflating your tires with Nitrogen also increases fuel efficiency and increases tire treadlife. Furthermore, regular air and moisture can cause the tire wheel to rust, a very common cause of tire deflation. By eliminating oxygen and humidity by using Nitrogen, this safety problem is significantly reduced.

The benefits of Nitrogen tire inflation have been used by Nascar, the Commercial Airline industry and the U.S. Government and Military for years. Isn’t it time for you to reap the benefits of Nitrogen tire inflation at City Tire?
