We'll, i don't mind opposition, as a reply to MALT and rice_classic, i do agree there are no significant benefits of nitrogen over dry air. But not every country and gas station have air dry system in their compressors, actually i would believe i haven't seen anyone using such in Estonia. Checking the weather channel i see relative humidity of 90%, so i don't want to fill tires with that air right now, considering the pressure and density rise in tire as it's compressed, therefore can hold less humidity and condense water starts to form.
But as for testing, maybe autoX is not the best Technic to test such thing, i would propose drifting to be much more adequate Motorsport because this is where tires get some heat, i myself, have measured measly 180 degrees C from 10-15min practice run. Sadly i don't have have proper weather to do tests myself(all icy and slippery - less heat buildup).
About someone running 4 years with same tires, quite common as not all people in a world drive 80k in a year because they live in much smaller country and don't have long distance travel to work daily, to get for an example, the tires this car ships with should last approx 65'000 km(yes i know, on a prius maybe), but still, now if you are some grandfather visiting his son every week and drive 50km for that. Some countries even see snow and have separate tires with rims for winter, again your summer tires should last forever - considering not drifting daily. So please, let's keep our minds and heart open toward fellow FRS/GT86/BRZ owners, we are all good, smart, all-knowing and beautiful.
