>>>So why would you put adulterated nitrogen (aka air) in your tires<<< I am fairly certain that the Air Force (and airlines) always use pure nitrogen in airplane landing gear tires. There is a mass difference, and for an airplane, that can be a big deal, especially over the life of the aircraft. Low temperature/high altitude considerations might play in - for example if the water vapor in air settles out and freezes on one side of a tire, then there would be dynamic imbalance later when the wheel was spinning - but I merely speculate on that.
