TYRES: nitrogen inflation, handling and safety<\/h2>\n

The type of tyres deeply influence grip, safety and handling<\/h3>\n

To let this series begins, it\u2019s natural to start describing the tyres<\/strong> and their role.<\/p>\n

These are the only parts that \u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b4\u03b5\u03c3\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2<\/strong> a vehicle to the ground, the only way to transfer the engine power allowing to move the car.<\/p>\n

Tyres and safety.<\/h3>\n

So, this is the main purpose of a tyre, that it has also another function: to decrease the amount of impacts towards the dampers in order to guarantee safety <\/strong><\/a>[do you need an avice about snow chains<\/a>?] and comfort<\/strong> to the driver and his passengers.<\/p>\n

To absolve these two fundamental functions, the tyres have to respect some characteristics: they must have good elastic properties<\/strong>, low rolling noise<\/strong>, high grip\/handling<\/strong> and they must have an intuitive behaviour in such a way that the driver has a direct, prompt and immediate response.<\/p>\n

\"tyre<\/a>TYRES: a key for handling and pollution management.<\/h4>\n

In the last years, tyres played an important role in term of car pollution<\/strong>; they have to be with a low rolling coefficient in order to decrease consumptions. Ideally, these properties are characteristics of all tyres but we know that each tyre has a function depending on the type of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Therefore, some properties identify mainly some kind of tyres, others are fundamental in other types of tyres. One of the simplest examples, is the differences between a slick race tyre<\/strong> and a tyre for off-road<\/strong> vehicles.<\/p>\n

As we said, there are many basic features shared by all kind of tyres: deformability, flexibility, adherence, lightness\u2026 These are given by the compound<\/strong> of the rubber and the metal structure<\/strong> inside the tyre. The lightness is mainly due to the air inside; this element contributes to stiffen<\/strong> the structure and allows to transmit forces, even considerable, to the rim to which the tyre is fixed.<\/p>\n

NITROGEN INFLATION: Why is nitrogen inflation so common in race cars?
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A nitrogen rich-mixture improves performances.<\/h4>\n

Generally, the tyres are inflated with compressed air but it\u2019s possible to use also air rich in nitrogen<\/strong>. We used this gas especially in racing competitions<\/strong> and it\u2019s not common<\/strong> on road vehicles.<\/p>\n

Nitrogen is the main element of the air (79%) and inflating tyres with nitrogen means injecting a mixture with at least 90% of nitrogen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is because the absence of humidity, oxygen and many impurities.<\/p>\n
