I will rephrase:

Actually this discussion made me think about it a lot.
IF you could find a phase change liquid that evaporates right at the final target temp of the tires at race temps, then you could have MORE STABLE temps than anyone experiences right now.
The liquid would work as a tire balancer (like the little beads that some use) and would evaporate to keep the tire temps stable.
I have never heard of that before.
We use some interesting liquids at work as cooling fluid.
It evaporates at 70F and leaves NOTHING behind.
I used it in my ultrasonic cleaner to clean some carb parts.
It was cool - pour in fluid, turn on cleaner with heat.
Come back in 20 minutes and parts are clean, dry, and there is now dry-dirt at the bottom of the cleaner. It is similar to dry cleaning fluid.

I actually am around that quite a bit.
I think you're missing my point. My point being, when I go to autocross and my tire pressuresclimb 6psi in a few minutes, then I drive home and have to put air back in them because they fall back below 30 (or whatever it is) and trigger the tpms code, this could all be avoided with nitrogen.
I feel like I'm coming off as a huge advocate for nitrogen filled tires and I'mnot. Just making statements.
Edit: you're other points are interesting
