<VV> Nitrogen in tires and air

[MarK Durham]

Correct. At the altitudes and temps cars drive. But at the temps and
barometric pressure changes aircraft tires experience, it helps lower costs
of tires and maintenance plus landing a heavy aircraft on a low set of
tires is dangerous. You would pull Corvair to the side of the road. A
Concorde SST was downed when a tire blew up.
