[AT] OT truck tires/driveshaft?

[Ron Cook]

I understand what you are saying and I agree.  I am just pointing out 
that it is "the reason" for the heavy aircraft, not all aircraft.  All 
my tires including the ones on my airplanes are filled with air and are 
legal and I am happy.  We do use nitrogen where dry is a good idea, such 
as airing up struts, etc.
A local tire store advertises heavily that they only fill your tires 
with mileage saving nitrogen.  I consider it all advertising BS. But 
many people swear by it.  I am also not all that convinced they use all  
nitrogen at all.  I don't do business with that place.
