The American Company was founded by Harvey Firestone back in 1900. Supplying pneumatic tyres for buggies, wagons and other wheeled vehicles common to that time Firestone soon realised the massive potential for marketing Tyres towards automobiles.

Harvey Firestone was friends with a man that is a familiar name to many of us – Henry Ford. Harvey made the most of this relationship and became the original equimpment Tyre supplier to the Ford Motor Company. They also became active in the replacement market.

The Japanese Bridgestone Corporation brought the company in 1988.

In NZ the first Firestone Office was set up in the 1920′s. Firestone state on their website they are the largest Tyre Retail Network in NZ.

At your next visit to a Tyre store you may be asked if you would like your Tyres filled with Nitrogen.

This appears to be a much debated subject with two sides to the argument. Tyreshops charge extra to do this in most cases and it is an additional revenue earning service for them.

The Tyre store will inform you of the following reasons for doing this.

• You will get better fuel economy, because Nitrogen contains larger molecules than air the tyre pressure in your tyres will remain more constant.
• You will get a longer Tyre life because the Tyres will run at a lower pressure.
• Your wheel rims are less likely to rust, as there is less moisture in Nitrogen than what is in Air.

There are plenty of arguments as to whether or not these claims add up or not, so we would like to share with you our opinion, which is based on the research we have done, as well as the outcomes of the experiment undertaken by Consumer Reports in the US.

Our research showed that although Nitrogen does slightly slow down the pressure loss from tyres, the difference is only slight. Consumer reports tested 31 pairs of Tyres over one year. Those filled with air lost an average of 3.5 psi, the Nitrogen ones lost 2.2 psi.

We also found out to our own surprise that compressed air is around 75 – 78% Nitrogen anyway. Your tyres already have nearly 80% Nitrogen in them for free from the local gas station!

In some applications e.g Heavy Trucks, Formula One racing etc the small percentages can help. However we would suggest that as a car motorist unless you feel like watching your hard earned cash disappear in a puff of hot air that you keep your money in your wallet and instead check your tyre pressures REGULARLY.

Our research shows that the pricing of nitrogen inflation can vary from $5 to $12 per tyre.

Often you will see comments about people getting their tyres filled with Nitrogen and suddenly noticing better mileage and handling etc, however we would like to suggest that the same things can be achieved just by inflating them to the correct pressure!!
