Now during winter Nov-Dec, driving to Tahoe and elsewhere, I've had to fill up my tires at an earlier period (usually it would be 3-4 months in summer w/ nitrogen, vs winter it was 2-3 months). This is just my experience excluding any science ^_^.

My setup, 205/40/17 Falkens~ 45psi nitrogen..

Kioshi - I wouldn't take that as an argument.
Real-world experience is worth more than science in this kind of discussion, since the real world brings in factors that the lab cannot allow for. Even the use of higher pressures looks silly in the lab, but def feels like it's better on the road.
Either way - each to his/her own. I guess I'll have to try nitrogen now.
