EDIT: Correction, German air was released on delivery when the dealer put on winter tires for me, so I drove on all SC air, later supplemented with GA air where I picked up a flat on my trip home.
Of course you didn't count in thunderstorms.
It may well be Russian air you're running on...

Well, I swapped by original tires with winter tires in SC. I supplemented those winter tires with GA air when I got a flat on the way home. Then I swapped the winter tires back to original tires in WA. I then put the remaining winter tires onto a new set of Porsche wheels in WA too. So all my tires currently have genuine Pacific Northwest air in them. Did any of that air come from Russia, perhaps, but it has been treated by the Pacific North West plants/trees.

Even if you have that almost 100% Nitrogen in tire, you can fill up with normal air.
And normal air is better, because of the water as humidity in it.
Pressure rises higher when heated up by driving, but temperature of gascompound in tire stays lower.
The extra pressure by water, gives lesser deflection of tire, so lesser heatproduction when driving.
And te temperature of gascompound in tire is related to the temperature of tire material, wich is allowed only overheated ZERO times in tires use.

Recently made a temperature/tirepressure calculator
For pressure change for temperature change, and temperature change for pressure change.
And, and I think I am the first in that, for dry and wet gascompound in tire.

If you are interested to try it out, mail me at my hotmail. com adres with username jadatis, and I send it to you( combine yourselfes, spamm machines cant this way).
