Is anyone using Nitrogen in their tires?

[LL - NY]

It's really not much to do with the N2 itself, it's that the process to
extract it
tends to dehumidify it anyway. If you compressor could efficiently dry your
regular air, you'd get nearly 100% the "benefits". Besides, in the
conditions
inside a tire, unless there is enough rim/bead slippage, the temps aren't
high enough for the 21% (it's 78% N2, 1% everything else) O2 to become
reactive enough to begin with. It's simply hogwash. If they would've
discounted
my snowies for use of regular air (doubt it, they didn't even tell me about
the N2
(some sales pitch, eh?) when I bought the tires) I would've gone for regular
air.
