Nitrogen at Crescent Service

Environmentally Friendly....
You can make our world a better, safer place by filling your tires with nitrogen. It sounds trite, but it’s true. Nitrogen in tires maintains proper pressure, keeps the recommended “contact patch” on the road longer and reduces rolling resistance. That translates to better fuel economy and fewer toxic emissions into our atmosphere. But that’s not all.

With more consistent pressure, your tires won’t wear as fast. Theoretically, if everyone used nitrogen we could decrease the demand for tires. Manufacturing fewer tires would decrease pressure on natural resources used in the process, lower toxic emissions coming from manufacturing plants, decrease shipping of tires and…well, you get the idea. When it comes to protecting the environment, every little bit helps. You can pitch in by using nitrogen in your tires.

Driving on underinflated tires? If you are, it’s like driving your car through sand! The engine has to work harder, burning more fuel and adding wear to engine components. It’s also dangerous. Almost all tire blowouts are caused by underinflated tires. Tires lose 1-2 PSI every month!. That’s 6 PSI low by the time you have your oil changed!
