"Tyres Wallingford, Tyres Wheatley"
[ "What are Nitrogen filled tyres and their benefits;Todays modern tyres areknown as pneumatic tyres. These kinds of tyres make use of compressed gas orair to provide the outer rubber support of cushion that is needed to balancethe load and provide needed deflection to the vehicle. The amount of gas isdefined as per the size of the tyre and is specified by the tyre manufacturer.But are there any other options apart from compressed air to be used in thetubes of these tyres? Yes, nitrogen is one such optionCommonly, compressed air is used in tyres. Air is amixture of several gases with more concentration of nitrogen comprising 78 %and 21 % of it is oxygen. Apart from it, there are noble gases, carbon dioxide,etc. which forms air. But the key players are oxygen and nitrogen. But sometyre manufacturers opt for nitrogen as the gas for their tyres rather than amixture of gases. ;Such nitrogen-filled;tyres Wallingford, can be beneficial in the following ways: Nitrogen does not migrate more into the tube asoxygen and thus this keeps the tyres inflated for a longer time. This reducesthe chances of deflation and the tyre maintains stable pressure for a longertime. This is good for tyre and enhances its longevity. Nitrogen is found to be more stable to temperature changesand helps the tyre to remain cooler when compared to compressed gas or oxygenand thus this enables the;TyresWheatley;to remain coolerand not get heated up easily. Due to heat, the tyre pressure may change and cancause problems like wear, deflation, etc. Due to the presence of nitrogen, thetyre is cooler and these kinds of problems can be avoided. It is normal to notice changes in air pressure after aweek or within 10 days of filling the tyres. But nitrogen-filled tyres haveslowed pressure changes and thus the nitrogen is capable to stay for a longertime nearly for a month in the tyres. Nitrogen filled tyresare less prone to the changes in temperature. As the temperature changes thepressure changes. But with the presence of nitrogen in the tyre the temperaturechanges are less and thus it is possible to maintain constant pressure in thetyres. This helps in maintaining tyre quality and performance. Vehicles that areknown for speed like sports cars, aeroplane tyres, and heavy vehicles havenitrogen-filled tyres. These type of vehicles are prone to temperaturevariations due to speed and load and it is thus essential to have a gas that ismore stable to such temperature variations. ;Nitrogen is the best choice when compared to compressedair. Since compressed air has moisture or water vapours within them and withtemperature variations these vapours make the air to expand and cause thetemperature of the tyre to increase rapidly which can be dangerous in manysituations. Thus, due to its temperature variation stability Nitrogen filledtyres are preferred for such vehicles. Due to nitrogen, theprocess of oxidation of the rubber of the tyre gets blocked. The process ofoxidation causes the rubber of the tyre to become weak and it thus poses therisk of blowing out. Thus, Nitrogen prevents the tyre from blowing out byblocking the oxidation of the rubber.Despite many suchbenefits, the big challenge emerges in terms of cost and maintenance. Nitrogenfilled in tyres requires regular maintenance and once you get your tyres filledwith nitrogen you cannot change it to other gases. Since many fuel stationssupport compressed air finding a station with pure nitrogen can be a tedioustask. Moreover getting tyres inflated with nitrogen is more costly whencompared to oxygen or air. Thus, based on your preference opt the best gas foryour tyres. Remember the performance of any tyre depends on your regularmaintenance and care" ]
