Some Benefits Of Nitrogen Gas For Tyres

Nitrogen is often offered when filling tyres. In fact, some high-performance cars are obliged to use nitrogen when filling tyres. Why? Because nitrogen has some of its own advantages that Accelera will tell.

1. Harder to Deflate

Nitrogen gas molecules are larger than ordinary air. So over time, the tyre is more difficult to deflate because nitrogen gas is less likely to penetrate the pores of the tyre. However, the difference is not very significant.

2. Stable

One of the main advantages of nitrogen is stability. The air expands and deflates with the temperature and will affect the tyre pressure. Nitrogen gas is relatively more stable so when used for heavy needs such as track days or races, it will provide relatively more consistent handling.

So, this nitrogen gas is suitable for those of you who have extreme needs, for example racing with Accelera 651 Sport tyres because of its very high traction.

However, for daily needs, ordinary air is actually enough as long as you diligently check the tyre pressure.

 

Indonesia 

Nitrogen seringkali ditawarkan ketika melakukan pengisian ban. Bahkan, beberapa mobil performa tinggi wajib menggunakan nitrogen ketika mengisi ban. Mengapa? Karena nitrogen memiliki beberapa kelebihan sendiri yang akan Accelera bahas.

1. Sulit Kempis

Molekul gas nitrogen lebih besar daripada udara biasa. Sehingga seiring berjalannya waktu, ban lebih sulit kempis karena gas nitrogen lebih sulit menembus pori-pori ban. Namun, perbedaannya tidak terlalu signifikan.

2. Stabil

Salah satu keunggulan utama dari nitrogen adalah kestabilan. Udara memuai dan mengempis mengikuti suhu dan akan mempengaruhi tekanan ban. Gas nitrogen relatif lebih stabil sehingga bila digunakan untuk kebutuhan berat seperti track day, akan memberikan pengendalian yang relatif lebih konsisten.

Sehingga, gas nitrogen ini cocok untuk kamu yang memiliki kebutuhan berat, misalnya balap dengan ban Accelera 651 Sport karena traksinya yang sangat tinggi.

Namun untuk kebutuhan harian, udara biasa sejatinya sudah cukup selama rajin di cek tekanan bannya.
