| Why is nitrogen necessary?
Nitrogen is better than normal compressed air because it is a more stable gas than compressed air which consists of oxygen and steam. Tyre filled with nitrogen can thus hold its pressure better operationally when it is heated up when made to run long distance on the road. Nitrogen is therefore an effective solution to reduce pressure leaks and maintain constant pressure. Oxygen and steam (in normal compressed air) on the other hand can create pressure leaks in the tyre since these molecules pass quickly through the tyre walls. Hence nitrogen can extend tyre life and generate better dollar savings in the long run. |
| In short: |
| 1. |
Nitrogen leaks slower than normal compressed air. |
| 2. |
Nitrogen is a more stable (it is inert, dry and non-flammable) gas and so does not heat up as readily as normal compressed air. This reduces tyre heat and rolling resistance and so saves fuel. |
| 3. |
Nitrogen non-combustive nature also makes it safer. |
| 4. |
Nitrogen filled tyres also have better road holding. |

Why is wheel alignment necessary?
Wheel alignment is an adjustment make on your vehicle to ensure the tyres are calibrated to ‘point’ straight ahead. Proper wheel alignment makes a vehicle steer easily and allows tyres to wear evenly. When wheels are not aligned various problems result.
Tyres can be nudged out of alignment by accidentally hitting them against objects such as curbs and parking blocks, or by catching a center cement divider while making a miscalculated turn. Once a tire is knocked out of alignment, its orientation on the vehicle is slightly off-center. The degree of misalignment is not obvious to the human eye, but the effects will be noticeable.

|
There are telltale signs of a vehicle in need of wheel alignment. The tyre that is pointing off-center will pull the vehicle in the direction it is oriented. For example, if the right front tyre is nudged slightly inward (left), the steering wheel will pull left while driving on a flat, even surface. The driver will have to maintain a right-pull on the steering wheel to keep the vehicle headed straight even when driving on a flat, straight road. This is not only annoying, but the tyre that is out of alignment will also wear prematurely and unevenly because of the constant drag placed on its tread. The drag can also impact gasoline mileage.
|
| Wheel alignment should be checked regularly as misalignment can result in: |
| - |
Uneven wear of tyres |
| - |
nstability in steering |
| - |
Reduction in tyre life by as much as 80% |
| - |
Accelerated wear of suspension and steering point |
| - |
Vibration, noises, pull, jerk and road wander resulting in loss of control |

CEMB On-Vehicle Balancer
The on-vehicle balancing is recommended as a “finish” balancing (after balancing wheels on an off-the-vehicle model) and serves to correct the unbalances deriving from the unavoidable centering tolerances between the wheel rim and wheel hub, or from the brake discs or transmission parts. |
