I'm sure we do dumber things to our cars that has no real function...
As opposed to oxidizing from the outside?
Mitsu salesguy tried that line when I was looking at Evos. Said as soon as you put air under pressure the oxygen level sky rockets and destroys the tires from the inside. I laughed so much I almost puked right in the showroom.
The great part was when I asked if they would change the air in my Lancer GT tires to nitrogen (as a joke) he said they couldn't do it there as they didn't have a tank.
