They are also aircraft. If anybody here is stressing their tires to the level of aircraft take off and landing and consistently driving at temperatures as low as they are at altitude then I would love to see the build. There is zero advantage to nitrogen filled tires in your normal street driven car. This has been proven time and time again.
