allikatzpop Rookie Author Pennsylvania Posts:1 Points:2,920 Joined:Nov 2008	Message Posted: Nov 25, 2008 3:55:43 PM Ignore allikatzpop Report Abuse The USAF has been using Nitrogen in Aircraft tires for many years. Nitrogen runs cooler in tires keeping tire temperature down, resulting in longer tire life and less heat related failures.
