Hey, you got me wondering now, enough so for me to take my analyser out and walk over to the caravan (chosen because I know the tyres on it haven't been touched for 4 years).
Still got 20.9 % Oxygen in them.
Maybe the EU tyres are of poorer quality and therefore more porous??

Sorry guys,
I'm not that sure anymore, just checked the analyser and it's calibration ended last month.
Remind me in a week and I will re-check the tyres after it been re-calibrated.

Nitrogen....
An "Inert Gas"
No Moisture.....and therefore...
NO BLOODY RUST in your wheels!!!
I think besides nitrogen being stable at temperature variations...the fact that it will not introduce moisture into your components is the main reason why I use it. Besides....I can fill my tires at work with all the nitrogen I like....
Food for thought

Yes, I tried nitrogen on my old FZ6, it does lengthen the tire life and does keep the tyres cool, and also in case of a flat, it looses the air more slowly than standard air.
However you have to keep on pumpin' nitrogen every 2 weeks (since all tyres loose some air over time) and here in Turkey they charge to have it nitroed.
As a result, not worth it!
