Nitrogen in race tires is not new and is effective in keeping the temperatures
consistent, provided you get the pressure right at the beginning. I did the
Nurburgring 24 Hour race in 1989 in a Ford Escort and the German Avon
distributor thought our compounds were a bit soft so he inflated them with
nitrogen...we only changed the fronts once in 24 hours and the rears not at
all.
