<VV> Nitrogen in tires and air

 More stable? The thermal expansion of atmospheric gases is the same. No moisture, you bet. But more stable pressure than air over temperature? Nah, that's hogwash.

Ed, nitrogen is more stable with temp changes, meaning it stays at pressure
better than air, and has no moisture in it that can freeze. Many car shops
now fill with nitrogen as well, but it is routinely used in aircraft tires
due to the cold temps they expereince.
