[TR] Inflating Tires w/ Nitrogen?

[MMoore8425 at aol.com]

It seems to me like the biggest threat we have to tire life is age, not  
wear. 
My TR3 has a beautiful like new set of  Michelins, but they're 10  years old. 
Michelins tells me 6 years is the limit, although if there is no  
deterioration in the carcass (inside) they may be ok a little longer sinced they  are 
inside and out of sunlight, but that I should dismount them and check inside  
annually.
 
My Jaguar tires are Dunlops, but they are 7 years old now. They will all  get 
replaced in time just due to age. I have had no problem with  inflation.
When I was in Naval Aviation (a long time ago) nitrogen was being used  as I 
recall because of fire hazards with air at very high pressures and  
temperatures in aircraft tires
