Do you guys stay up late making this stuff up or do you really, honestly
believe that?

Have you ever heard of - much less read - the "gas laws'? Look up a
French chap named Charles and Gay-Lussac and their particular
contribution to the art.

Exactly how do you "know that using nitrogen the pressure stays more
consistant (sic) as the tire heats up"?

The reason nitrogen is used in high performance tires (usually aircraft)
is that it will not support combustion or oxidation of rubber compounds
in a very high temperature application. Compressed nitrogen is normally
dry, very low in moisture content as well as completely free of oil
which is a contaminant delivered by many air compressors. All the normal
gas laws still apply.

The only thing worse than the general lack of basic scientific knowledge
shown here is the willingness of people to post that they "know" that
the laws of physics simply don't apply.
