My only real experience with nitrogen filled tires was in the military. The tires on our fighter jets were filled to 300 psi with nitrogen.
The FAA requires nitrogen in all commercial aircraft tires to prevent auto-combustion when the tires become overheated.
NASCAR uses pure nitrogen in their tires (from the NASCAR website): "The reason NASCAR tires are inflated with nitrogen, rather than the normal air we pump into our tires, is due to the increased stability under hotter temperatures that the gas exhibits. It allows the tire pressure (50 pounds per square inch) to remain constant throughout the race regardless of the temperature, which can reach 200 degrees Fahrenheit."
But we're not jets nor racecars.
