Default Why nitrogen?

Need to see the aging data on rubber kept in air versus nitrogen.


I've seen it at work, fwiw. Some difference.

But, for car tires, I would say there is more hype than benefit.


Used to put it in the tires of my light plane, mostly because it was free.
I flew off grass and reckoned they'd rot before I wore them out anyway, so
I might as well get the most bang for the buck out of the tires.
