Nitrogen Filled Tires
O'Toole's Harley-Davidson is currently offering Nitrogen filled tires exclusively for motorcycles. Nitrogen is a much safer alternative for tire inflation. If has been used for decades on commercial and military aircraft, NASCAR, Formula 1 and Indy racecars as well as heavy mining and construction vehicles. Nitrogen maintains better tire pressure, extends tire life, keeps tires 20% cooler, improves handling, can reduce tire failures by as much as 80% and can thus improve fuel economy and more reliable handling.
What is Nitrogen?
Nitrogen is a DRY light gas that does not burn. The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen.
How much does nitrogen cost?
The cost to inflate your tires with Nitrogen is $11.95 per tire. We will purge the compressed air (oxygen) out of you tire and re-inflate the tire with dry nitrogen.
What if I need to add air and don't have access to nitrogen?
Just top off with air from any compressor. You may lose a little of the benefit of the nitrogen but once you get back home, just stop by and we will re-purge your tires for you.
Do I have to pay every time I get nitrogen added?
No. The only time you have to pay again is when you have a new tire or tube installed.
I have heard that nitrogen actually helps maintain my tires pressure longer. Is that true?
Yes. A nitrogen molecule is much bigger than an oxygen molecule. The reason tires loose pressure is because the oxygen molecules actually seep through the rubber and out into the air.
