NITROGEN INFLATION AND PROPER INFLATION PRESSURE
Posted by Bill from miami beach, FL, US on January 9, 2009
PLEASE GIVE US THE PROS AND CONS OF PROPER NITROGEN INFLATION. HOW MUCH DOES PROPER INFLATION INCREASE FUEL MILEAGE.
The major tire companies seem to agree that for commercial vehicles, it is difficult to justify the cost of nitrogen inflation. Time may prove us wrong but, for now, that seems to be the general agreement. Regarding proper inflation pressure, nothing is more important to tire performance. You can find a brochure titled "Factors Affecting Fuel Economy" on our website here http://www.goodyear.com/truck/support/publications.html that shows in detail many things you can do to improve fuel economy.
