Default Trailer Tires Overheating.

And I'm just saying that while in racing, the brake rotors themselves
can get extremely hot during braking, if there is so little heat taken
away that the rotors alone are causing the wheels to be heated up to
over 250 degrees then something's wrong with the setup.


Once again, I never said car or trailer tires were heated by the brakes.

Holy cow, major brain fart.


Understand that very well ...

I don't buy the "runs cooler" argument either. But I do buy
the argument that you can control the amount of moisture in
the gas easier if you're filling it with nitrogen then when
plain compressed air.


Yes, yes, that's it! Finally! 8-) That is what has been so difficult to
get across here ... that control of moisture in the filling gas - along
with the oxidation reducing benefits of an inert gas - is the the sole
reason to choose nitrogen over home brew compressed air.

Dry nitrogen can not make a tire run cooler and it does not expand at a
different rate than dry air. Water will not flash to steam below its
vapor pressure.
