Nitrogen for tires is one of the most insane ideas I’ve ever heard. The air you breathe every day is 78% nitrogen.

Well they us it in racing because the lack of moisture in pure nitrogen fill gives a more consistent pressure vs temperature curve as the tire heats up.

So it was an easy “sell” for the masses.

Nitrogen doesn't corrode the inside of a tubeless wheel.
