My old boss used to fill his BTCC Peugeot 405's race tires with nitrogen.  I
remember him saying something about it being lighter and more stable
pressure-wise than compressed air.  I'd love to hear more about that form
someone with more first-hand experience.

And don't forget, nitrogen is lighter than air.....by 20% I think. Miguel
