Why TyreSaver?

During a safely campaign in Scotland, the Tyre Industry Council revealed that 90% of the cars they tested had incorrectly inflated tyres. Under inflated tyres increase fuel consumption and contribute to accidents.

Whilst laziness is probably behind people not regularly checking their tyres, an additional cause for the under inflated tyres is the air that's used to fill them...

At present most tyres on our roads are filled with compressed air. This is the same air that we breathe; it's just at a higher pressure. Air is not just a single gas, but a mixture of roughly 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen plus some other trace gases such as helium and water vapour.

The reason that a tyre will lose pressure over time is a result of oxygen from the compressed air 'leaking' out through the rubber of the tyre. The tyre acts as a membrane through which oxygen will permeate (leak). The difference in partial pressure of the oxygen inside the tyre and outside causes this.

Filling tyres with TyreSaver means there's no problem because the TyreSaver equipment removes oxygen and water vapour from the compressed air before it reaches your tyre. This means that your tyre will stay at the correct pressure for longer.

Benefits!

The RAC Foundation for Motoring has quoted that under inflation by 20% causes a 30% reduction in tyre life and a 3% drop in fuel comnsumption. The potential savings if you inflate your tyres with TyreSaver are obvious...

Correct inflation with nitrogen means...

• Enhanced safety
• Better grip and handling
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Longer term stability of the tyre pressure
• Longer tyre life
• No oxidation within the tyre
