Nitrogen filled tires & tires for sale spam

[mike kojima]

Racers use nitrogen because it is a dry gas.  The H2O
in air make it expand and contract unpredictably with
changes in temperature depending upon the humidity.

Ever notice why racers and autocrossers fiddle with
tire pressures so much?  Its because tire pressure
rises a lot with temp.

Using nitrogen cuts the pressure gain by about half, a
sizeable advantage in the first few laps of a race.
