Q
why put nitrogen in tyres
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Putting nitrogen in tyres has several advantages:
1. Stability: Nitrogen is less likely to migrate through tire rubber than is oxygen, which means your tire pressures will remain more stable over the long term.
2. Longer tire life: When oxygen in the air inside your tires oxidizes the rubber, it causes the rubber to break down overtime. This doesn't happen with nitrogen since it is an inert gas.
3. Better fuel efficiency: Correct tire pressure keeps the manufacturer's recommended "contact patch" on the road, reducing rolling resistance and maximizing fuel efficiency.
4. Reduced rim rust: By filling tires with nitrogen, the moisture present in the tire's rims is eliminated, effectively stopping the rims corroding and rusting.
5. Improved vehicle handling and safety: Correct tire pressure is highly important to the safe handling of a vehicle. Nitrogen provides more reliable tire pressure that enhances the vehicle’s handling, braking, and acceleration.
It's worth noting, however, that the benefits of using nitrogen in tyres are often subject of debate. It's more expensive than compressed air and while it does provide some advantages, some experts argue they can be negligible for ordinary drivers.
