106 St...leading the way to a more enlightened, safer, cleaner future!

As NYC’s premier tire dealer, 106 St. Tire & Wheel has been an industry leader for decades. And because of our loyal customer base we are an established and thriving business with 4 locations, and, we take our role as a community icon very seriously.

As a progressive and participating member of our community we are not just about tires. We, now under second generation family leadership, are interested in the compelling issues of our times.

With our own children growing up in NYC, we are concerned about safety, the environment, the skyrocketing numbers of kids with breathing issues, etc. Please see this link if you too are concerned about air quality and the huge number of kids affected by pollution: http://www.stateoftheair.org/

Because of the above, we felt compelled to do something about it. Now, our stores have environmentally friendly nitrogen fill. If you’re not familiar with the advantages of nitrogen, please watch this short, to the point and awareness expanding video by “The Tonight Show” star, Jay Leno: http://getnitrogen.org/n2study/video/leno.html and listen to why nitrogen fill has been the choice of NASCAR,
Air Force One, NASA and the airlines for over a decade.

Of course, we have everything the ordinary tire store has or we wouldn’t be #1 in Queens, however, to us, as life long residents of this community, it’s about our family in the neighborhoods surrounding our stores. 106 St. Tire & Wheel Cares! Please see our site at www.106StTire.com

we are constantly tweeting using this Jay Leno video:

http://getnitrogen.org/n2study/video/leno.html

It's critical that all we drivers see this video and listen to Jay Leno
talk about nitrogen fill. We know our planet is fragile and we cannot
continue to burn fossil fuels like we are.

Let's get smart about what pollution is doing to our families, our kids,
our planet...this is serious business. We've stood witness to what putting
off the inevitable has done to the economy...we see the Artic melting...
lets act responsibly before we jeopardize the existance of the planet.

Please watch this Jay Leno video? Yours and your kids future depends on
it.

Thanks!

106 St. Tire & Wheel to Present Talk on Nitrogen Fill at the Queens Chamber of Commerce

106 St. Tire & Wheel to Present Talk on Nitrogen
Fill at the Queens Chamber of Commerce

106 St. Tire & Wheel will be hosting the Queens Chamber of Commerce’s “Breakfast before Business” at 8:30AM on October 29th 2010 and presenting a brief video and talk on the advantages of nitrogen tire fill.

The video features one of America’s most famous celebrity car collectors, Jay Leno, star of the “Tonight Show,” who is a spokesman for GetNitrogen.org, a group advocating for the use of nitrogen fill.

Nitrogen tire fill has been in use by the U.S. military, Air Force One, NASCAR, the airlines and NASA for nearly a decade. Nitrogen fill lasts longer maintaining the proper air pressure in tires longer and, therefore, saves consumption of gas. It’s estimated that the wide spread use of nitrogen tire fill in our cities could improve air quality dramatically by having us burn 3.8 billion fewer gallons of gas a day.

A spokesperson for 106 St. Tire & Wheel stated, “With childhood breathing issues increasing and asthma occurrences spiraling, it’s important for we Queens residents to act now in the best interest of our kids, neighborhoods and the planet.”

Contact the Queens Chamber of Commerce at (718) 898-8500 x-24 for more details.

ALWAYS OPEN YOUR WINDOWS WHEN YOU GET IN YOUR CAR! Here's why:

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!

Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.

Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here's why:

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe thesmell of heated plastic in your car). In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia andreduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. Ft. A car parked indoorswith windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, theBenzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time forinterior to air out - dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.

just a reminder....we are open on ALL holidays including this one:

We're open 24/7 every single day of the year;
