Many tire specialists offer the possibility during tire changes to inflate the tires with nitrogen instead of compressed air. A possibility that is gradually being chosen by more and more drivers eager to obtain a better result with a reasonable outlay. But what exactly is it about? Are there really any benefits? And what about the drawbacks too? Let's find out together.
Let's start immediately by saying that regardless of the type of vehicle, the size of the wheel or the brand of the tread, the most important thing to do when it comes to tire inflation is pressure control.
Each driver must always pay attention to the pressure of their tires and make sure that it is the same as it is transcribed in the manual supplied with each vehicle or shown inside the driver's door. CambioRuote.com recommends a pressure check every two months.
When we talk about inflation with nitrogen, there are some technical clarifications to be made.
Nitrogen is already present in the air that we breathe almost 80% and therefore even when "normal" inflation is required, we are actually going to insert a consistent trace of nitrogen.
If, on the other hand, you opt for nitrogen inflation only, inside the tire we will have a significant reduction in humidity due to the lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
So the difference between the two different inflation modes lies in the unique presence or absence of nitrogen. But what are the advantages of only introducing this gas into our tires?
First of all, it must be considered that inflating the tires with nitrogen is neither necessary nor mandatory according to any type of law but is simply an extra option for all motorists.
It is also important to note other details:
In addition, your trusted tire dealer will report the use of nitrogen through a colored cap (usually red) and if there is a small drop in pressure during the bimonthly check, it is possible to fill this gap even with simple compressed air.
As we have just seen, there are conditions in which it is preferable to opt for compressed air inflation. We remind you that the inflation with compressed air still requires a large percentage of nitrogen because it is already present in the air we breathe.
Regardless of the choice you make, whether it is nitrogen or compressed air, the main advice to keep in mind is to check the pressure at least every two months to travel in absolute tranquility.
The Type of the car is a code that the producer assigns to each vehicle in order to distinguish it from similar models.
You can find this code in the italian registration certificate in two places: At point D.2, Vehicle type, or at point E, vehicle identification number.
