HA, HA, hahahahaha.
Air is a mixture of gases, and the largest portion by percentage is by
far Nitrogen. There's no such thing as an "air" molecule, but since most
of air is Nitrogen, one could hardly make the above claim.
From the Tire Discounters web site:
"Nitrogen, unlike air, is non-combustible."
Also funny, as air does not burn, either. It does provide fuel for fire.
Although strictly speaking, air CAN burn if it's hot enough. Or more
precisely, stuff in the air can combust - smoke, dust, pollen, whatever.
So why would Nitrogen-filled tires need reinflation less often?
Something to do with how inert N is?

Perhaps the oxygen in regular air oxidizez the tire or wheel thus
removing the oxygen content over time.
Would the net result be less pressure, or would the oxidation produce
other gasses?
