It's the only place around where I can walk around and eat free samples while getting tires..

Excuse me if I decline to discuss physics with you. I suggest that you Google relative molecular size of oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor molecules as it relates to their dispersion and transmission thru rubber. Tell us what you discover.

But, of course, you won't, because that would be like, well, work.

Out of mercy I'll give you a hint of what you will find, LOL.
Every gas STILL follows the the gas laws of physics that I linked to in my original reply. Always have, always will. Pure Nitrogen will vary its pressure over temperature changes for a fixed volume the same as our atmospheric mix. Always has, always will. I'm anything but uninformed, and you're still an ***. I suspect you always have been and always will be.

Last December, after an oil change and in preparation for a trip, I raised my air pressure to 40 psi. I completed my journey which consisted of temperatures ranging from 85 degrees to 24 degrees. The altitude range was from below sea level (west of El Centro on Interstate 8) to 8000 feet at the Grand canyon. The first week of June, my wife and I went to the North Rim that is over 8800 feet. Temps in southern arizona this week have been over 115 degrees with a high of 120 for one day. I have driven 12966 miles since that oil change. The air pressure this morning in the tires was 35.5 on the left rear, and 36 psi in the rest.

This morning, I aired the tires up using my home 5.5 gal air compressor. Using a tread depth guage I measured the front tires at 9/ 32nds, and the rear at 8 /32nds.

I rotated the tires on my 2010 F150 at 20,000 miles. The tread depth was within 1/32nds between the front and rear tires when. I don't plan to rotate the tires on my 2016 until 20,000 miles as well.

I provide these facts to assist those that may still be undecided as to the need for 100 % nitrogen in your tires.

I monitor my tires closely. I am very much aware of the number of roll overs that are caused by tire failure every year. A good quality air pressure guage and tread depth guage are a must for keeping your tires safe and get the most mileage available.
