NITRO IN TYRES FOR YOUR SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI CARS?

NITROGEN GAS IN TYRES ??? Do you know how many revolutions a tyre makes on a F1 car as it races around a circuit? How does 3000 sound to you? Any steering input from the driver is transmitted to the road via these thin strips of rubber. At speeds of up to 360kph, one better hope that the tyres do not rupture or punture otherwise it will result in a hugh accident! This constant risk means that it is essential to make tyres as safe as possible and one way to do this is put NITROGEN in them. Nitrogen is a very unreactive gas . if you fill a tyre with dry nitrogen gas, it is possible to predict how much it will expand as the tyre heats up from friction with the road. Air on the other hand is unpredicatable . While its composition of nitrogen and oxygen is always the same, the amount of water which makes the expansion of air within the tyre very unpredictable. Using nitrogen gas in tyres will ensure that this expansion is more predictable and consistent. If the pressure in a tyre is too
