An inexpensive way to improve your gas mileage and make your tires lastlonger

Car makers have been using race cars as field research vehicles for over 60 years. In the early '90s race teams started to experiment with new ways to reduce friction on the pavement, get more miles out of their tires as well as improved handling and performance.

Ok so here is the trick. One word......Nitrogen! Race teams have been using Nitrogen instead of air in their tires for over 20 years now. There are a lot of benefits from doing this. First, Nitrogen is thicker than air so it is less likely to leak out of the tire. Secondly, it doesn't hold moisture therefore it helps prevent your tire from dry rotting. (That is when your tires start to crack from old age) Thirdly, because of the other two reasons I have previously listed it reduces the friction between the tire and the road by not getting as hot inside the tire. Another good thing about using Nitrogen is if it does ever leak you can just use air to fill it back up because Nitrogen is already found in the air we breathe.

Most shops will convert your tires from air to Nitrogen for less then $30.00. This is well worth it for so many reasons. Even with an old car, driving on tires filled with Nitrogen is like driving on clouds. It is quiet and your tires last twice as long. You still need to rotate them regularly. You should have your tires rotated every other oil change for those who don't know.

All ideas posted in my blog I have tested and know they work. Using Nitrogen in your tires will improve your car's handling, gas mileage, and tire life.
