Rudy Luther Toyota Scion now offers a Nitrogen Tires Service!
Save fuel...get the Nitrogen green cap on your tires! Nitrogen provides better maintenance of tire pressure which maximizes fuel economy, tire life, safety and reliability, handling, and it's better for the environment!
Nitrogen is a non-flammable, dry gas that keeps your tires properly inflated longer the "plain old air". Because of its larger molecular size, nitrogen migrates through a tire three to four times slower than oxygen. A tire filled with "plain old air" will lose 1.5 PSI in less than a month; with nitrogen, this could take three months or longer.
Nitrogen delivers $124 a year in fuel savings: proper tire pressure lessens rolling resistance and maximizes fuel efficiency. Everyday we lose up to two million gallons of gasoline to low tire pressure. (US Dept. of Energy). Tires roll easier, resulting in better fuel economy.
*15,000 miles per year
*20 mpg = 750 gallons
*$3 gallon -$2,250
*5.8% fuel savings =$124
Nitrogen delivers $62 a year in increased tire life: Under-inflated tires wear quickly on the shoulder and over-inflated tires wear in the center. In addition, removing oxygen eliminates oxidation and condensation that can damage inner liners, steel belts, and rims.
*Average tire $150x4
*Extends life 31% = $186
*Average tire lasts 3 years = $62
Nitrogen delivers increased safety: Under-inflated tires cause 90% of blowouts. Nitrogen provides more reliable pressure for reduced blowout potential. Proper tire inflation ensures the recommended "contact patch" of your tire is on the road.
*50-70 deaths and 10,000 injuries occur each year due to under-inflated tires (The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
Nitrogen is better for the environment!
Anything that improves fuel efficiency and reduces toxic emmisions is good for the environment and nitrogen in your tires will help!
NASA, the US Military, Commercial Aircraft, Indy and NASCAR race teams all use nitrogen in their tires. Nitrogen provides a more consistent tire pressure for better handling, enhanced safety and longer tire life. You might not be flying the Space Shuttle or driving a race car at 200 mph, but you deserve the same benefits. When you factor in better fuel economy and fewer tire purchases, nitrogen pays for itself in no time! Plus, it's better for the environment. So, you'll not only be doing yourself a financial favor, you'll be helping make the world a better place.
Come get your tires filled with Nitrogen at Rudy Luther Toyota Scion today! The service costs $39.95 for the life of the tires.
Nitrogen: The revolution starts here!
