Nitrogen filled tyres

Not so. PV=nRT, so a tyre filled with dry nitrogen will experience an increase in pressure as temperature rises comparable to a tyre filled with moist air.

The key point is filling it with a dry gas - water undergoing a phase change screws up ideal gas predictions!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

Nitrogen will only work if it is filled in a air free tent in the same way a F1 team would. If you do not remove all the air it is pointless.
This blindingly obvious point has been ignored and always seems to be overlooked! The tyres have a whole tyre full of air in when they are fitted, so a nitrogen fill is pointless.Nitrogen will only work if it is filled in a air free tent in the same way a F1 team would.
