The benefits of proper tire pressure are numerous. Keeping the correct air pressure in your tires helps them last longer, helps your car handle better, and could even help maximize your fuel economy. Under/over-inflated tires are more difficult to handle, and increase your risk of a tire blowout.
The most notable advantage of nitrogen-filled tires deals with tire pressure, which you already know is crucial for keeping your tires in good shape. Nitrogen molecules are larger and slower moving than those of compressed air. Because of this, nitrogen won’t seep out of your tires as quickly as air will, helping to maintain proper pressure for a longer period of time.
