Well said!

Consistant and predictable pressure will increase the usablle life of that tire. Consistancy is the catalyst for a whole array of benefits. For instance, by starting your run with tires already at the desired pressure you are able to get performance out of that tire earlier in your stint. As temperature builds it does not increase pressure in the tire anything like air. You get a more stable performance curve thats more predictable and that performance lasts longer.

Just ask your friendly neighborhood Formula 1 or Nascar team, they use Nitrogen!

nitrogen is not as volatile to change pressure based on temperature as much as air, but it none the less is noticeably affected. The Boeing 737's i maintain average 15 psi greater pressure when the aircraft has just landed. Boeing specifies a 2 hour cool down period before taking tire pressure for accuracy. i wouldnt recommend to anyone to inflate cold nitrogen pressure to desired hot pressures. test and adjust. Are you offering vacuum evacuation of tires before nitrogen filling?

We are temporarily suspending our nitrogen program while we obtain effective means of air evacuation/nitrogen fill.

Harbour freight sells a/c vac pumps for about a $100 but you could also use a small sump pump. Napa would have most of the other pieces.
