- A thought: Would there be any benefit to filling my tires with 100% argon? What advantages/disadvantages would there be over nitrogen? (or air for that matter) I'm sure I could fill up my tires using

- Any benefit? I have no idea. You use straight argon for MIG? That's for what, Aluminum? I only do steel and use an argon/co2 mix. Filling from a MIG bottle would be no problem. People fill tires from

- I would expect CO2 to be a better candidate; the molecular weight and size is bigger than either N2 or Ar, so diffusion through the tire carcass should be less. In addition, it has a quite non-ideal

- Well, if you're so inclined, the usual way is to fill it, purge it and refill it. If you do that twice, you'll be very close to as pure as the source. How important that is is debatable, of course.
