      but the claim is it is less likely to leak, doesnt change pressure with temperature. and is lighter for better fuel economy.
      A little to add onto this.
      The reason that it is less likely to leak is because the nitrogen is physically bigger than oxygen.

      I do track days and run 36 front 34 rear. This gives me a little over 40 up front during lapping and wait for it... about 34 in the rear. I'm convinced I could replace my rear tires with some spares and not lose any handling. The car needs sways big time

      What do you mean there's no turbo?

      fr and mr cars use the rear wheels to provide power and the fronts wheels to turn ff cars use the froen for both thereby making it hard to heat the rear tires efficiently try setting your pressure lower in the rear so they heat faster.... or possibly at all

      I'm aware the dynamics of an FF, FR, AWD, MR... but my wifes old Mazdaspeed protege worked all four tires even. Through long sweepers the rear tires on the aveo don't do crap, however on tighter courses the rear does do some work. Unfortunately however with out much larger swaybars the rear does not do its part... oh then there's the weight distribution issue where about 65% of the weight is on the front of the car.
