Nitrogen is a gas used to inflate cargo vehicle tires. However, it is not common to find cars with this type of gas.
There is talk of many advantages and differences that characterize this gas, which are not appreciated in normal daily use of a vehicle. You must understand that nitrogen is a gas used to inflate cargo vehicle tires. However, it is not common to find cars with this type of gas. One of the main reasons is that very few vulcanizers have this type of service.
According to the specialized site Motor MagazineBy putting nitrogen in the tires there are clear benefits, but mostly not very functional.
If we can inflate the tire with pure nitrogen, when it heats up on long trips, at very high speed, the pressure does not increase and then it maintains the exact tread and in the ideal shape. If this happens, the grip of the rubber will be the best. However, in normal car traffic, even on the highway, the tire is unlikely to get hot enough to benefit from this property.
The local site Continentaltire highlights that the common air that is injected into the tires already contains a large percentage (around 78%) of nitrogen in itself. However, this amount is not enough for you to reap the full benefits of 100% nitrogen-charged tires.
Advantages of nitrogen
- Fill in the Nitrogen tires will make the tire It is harder, so it will be more difficult to deform, it will also cause the tires to lose less pressure over time.
- Nitrogen allows the minimum increase in the internal force of the gas inside the rim when there are very high operating temperatures, due to the minimum or no dose of water vapor it contains. In addition, the inflation value is kept stable.
- Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules, so it avoids pressure losses, for example due to valves, small pores or pneumatic rim junction. Oxygen dissipates about 3 times faster than nitrogen.
- Nitrogen is a dry gas and does not contain moisture, so it lengthens the life of tires and rims, avoiding internal corrosion, highlights the Moyabaca site, a company specializing in rims.
- In the event of a puncture, nitrogen-inflated tires tend to lose pressure more slowly.
Disadvantages of nitrogen
- Additional price.
- Loss of spin if the tire must be filled with normal air.
- It is not always available.
Nitrogen myths
Although it is said that it improves the stability and the quality of the ride: it is not true, because the pressure of the tire is the same as the base pressure that is placed cold, and at that caliber the wheel works in ideal conditions.
Increases the life of the tire.
Rim oxidation and preservation of internal casings. The materials on both sides are almost immune to rust that simple air moisture could cause on the rim. (I)
