[TR] Inflating Tires w/ Nitrogen?

[v6spitfireguy at cox.net]

Actually the main reason to use Nitrogen in a vehicle, that is revelant to
us drivers (in layman's terms), is that the molecules for nitrogen are
basically larger, and thus do not escape through the tires as does regular
"air". As such, tire pressure remains "constant" for a MUCH longer period
of time.  This results in a more or less stable pressure reading over a
longer period of time than just filling the tires with compressed air.
This "can" result in better gas milage, tire wear, etc.
It also has another benefit of not containing any harmful elements (to the
rubber compounds in tires anyway) , thus prolonging the life (at least the
inside) of the tire.
