The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and a small amount of trace gases. When it comes to tires, however, moisture within oxygen causes oxidation and other heat related problems. Nitrogen is a dry, non-flammable gas with inert properties, proven safe enough to be used for tire inflation by NASA, the U.S. Military, NASCAR and the airline industry.

Here are the Benefits to Nitrogen...the Champion Advantage!

Better Tire Pressure Retention - Nitrogen migrates through a tire 3 to 4 times slower than air. It may take 6 months to lose 2 psi with nitrogen compared to less than a month with air.

Improved Fuel Economy - Maintaining the proper tire pressure reduces the rolling resistance, boosting potential fuel economy.

Extended Tread Life - Tires inflated with nitrogen retain the optimum designed profile and run cooler than tires inflated with compressed air.

Elimination of Oxidation - Oxygen in air is highly reactive at high pressures and temperatures. Replacing air with dry nitrogen helps eliminate oxidation that damages inner liners and belt packages.

Reducing Road Hazard Issues Due to Tire Failures - Without the oxidation and excessive heat, tire failures can be significantly reduced.
