We have compiled a few frequently asked questions that we often receive about Nitrogen Tire Inflation:

• Is all nitrogen gas equal?
• No, nitrogen is available from nitrogen generators in different purities, generally ranging from 95% (low purity) to 99.9% (high purity). We use verifiable 97.8% pure nitrogen.
• At what air pressure should I set my tires using nitrogen?
• You should use the same air pressure as your vehicle manufacturer recommends when filling the tires with air. Always check your tires when cold for a more accurate reading.
• What purity of nitrogen should I use?
• All of our aging and longevity tests were 97% or better. We strongly recommend that 97% or better be used to inflate your tires. Using low purity, such as 95%, will negate the benefits of nitrogen inflation and is no better than inflating with air.
• What should I do if I have a flat or need air, and nitrogen is not available?
• You can fill your tire with air temporarily, and on your next visit to Butler Tire, we will refill your tires for you at no extra charge. Once you have paid for nitrogen in a set of tires, we will continue to fill them free of charge for the life of that set of tires.

What are the other benefits of nitrogen tire inflation?

• On the road, tests show that tires inflated with nitrogen lasted 25-30% longer
• Tires hold their pressure longer
• Nitrogen diffuses through the walls of the tire 25-30% slower than air
• Reduced tire pressure loss between inflation checks
• Fewer Tire Failures
• Better fuel mileage and handling
• Chrome wheels resist rusting as there is no moisture in nitrogen to cause rust and corrosion
