Tire Inflation: Nitrogen vs Air

Hi in aviation we use nitrogen all the time, the reason is that there in no moisture in it. This means that we do not run into freezing problems. Air from a shop supply will have moisture in it unless you are using a dry air system.

We had to replace the wheels on my wife's car due to the factory chrome-plating flaking away around the bead surface due to moisture and the resulting rust. It was cheaper to replace all four wheels with new aluminum wheels than to replace a single chrome-plated factory wheel that might do the same thing all over again.
Living in SoCal, I never considered the freezing issue. Don't know if I'd want to drive around in Minnesota with ice cubes in my tires half the year. LOL.
