Nitrogen for tyres instead of air.

Automobiles run on pneumatic [air filled] tires. The compressed air inside the tyres provides the vehicle capability to move fast on the roads. In certain types of Tractors and Cranes, a mixture of air and water is filled inside the tires to adapt it to certain specific requirement. This is also known as hydroflation.

However the latest trend is to use nitrogen gas inside high speed tires. This offer some added advantage to the conventional method of using compressed air.

They are ..
# No oxidation happening inside the tire, which enhances tire life

# No moisture, dust particles & heavy molecules, leading to a lighter weight

# The above factors reduces the chances of tire burst

# Nitrogen filled tires offer lower noise level

# Tire Rims do not get rusted inside, eliminating pitting

# Relatively cooler running

# Improves riding comfort.

Nitrogen filling is becoming common, and many tire service centers offer this facility.
