But common bumps, potholes, and the swerves of driving can make tyres go out of alignment, as can aging shocks or struts. The weight of the wheel and tyre should be balanced evenly around the axle. Even a tiny difference in balance can create vibration in a tyre; that’s turning hundreds of times per minute. Front tyres tend to wear most on their outside edges, but all tyres can wear unevenly due to even the slightest imbalance or misalignment. Having your tyres rotated twice a year helps them wear longer and more evenly. If you have front wheel drive, rotation is even more important. A dry, inert and slow acting gas; Nitrogen is used in tyres of various vehicles, in many different industries and organisations. Military vehicles, racing vehicles, heavy equipment vehicles, space shuttles, and aeroplanes all use Nitrogen-filled tyres. There are different reasons for choosing Nitrogen over air. Unlike air-filled tyres, Nitrogen-filled tyres are able to sustain tyre pressure better, and for longer periods of time. This is because Nitrogen has slightly larger molecules than the oxygen molecules in air, so it is harder for Nitrogen to permeate through the rubber of a tyre. In addition, Nitrogen tyres are safer than air tyres in extreme heat temperatures. This is because Nitrogen is non-flammable, which is an especially important factor for drivers who travel in extremely hot conditions. Secondary functions are to ensure more accurate control and steering of the vehicle, and to correct phasing (the movement of the suspension). As vehicles' electrical systems become more complex, it is critical for the battery and related electrical components to operate flawlessly.
