For demanding customers which value efficiency,​ we offer nitrogen tyre inflate.​

 

What is Nitrogen?

 

Nitrogen is a dry, inert gas used to inflate airplane, off-road truck, military vehicle and race car tyres for improved performance, more mileage and better fuel economy. ​

 

 

The Benefits of Nitrogen Tyre Inflation

1. Better handling and road holding

2. Reduces tread wear and increases tyre life by up to 25%

3. Correct inflation pressures reduce puncture risk by up to 33%

4. Reduced rolling resistance improves miles per gallon by 2%

5. Improved pressure retention

6. Increases tread life

7. Increases fuel mileage ​

 

 

Oxygen in compressed air permeates through the wall of the tyre, thus reducing the tyre's inflation pressure.

During its journey through the tyre wall, oxygen oxidizes the rubber compounds in the tyre, causing under-inflation and deterioration of the rubber.

Dry nitrogen will maintain proper inflation pressure and will not corrode rims, will extend valve core life and help the tyre run cooler. ​

While both nitrogen and oxygen can permeate rubber, nitrogen does so at a much slower rate.

It takes approximately 6 months to lose 2psi with nitrogen, compared to 1 month with oxygen.

 

Camel Tyres Abingdon use only pure industrial Nitrogen free of dust and other gases.
