Are there any disadvantages to inflating car tires with nitrogen?

[DeLeo]

Inflating car tires with nitrogen has the following disadvantages: It can cause oxygen residue: Under normal circumstances, car tires are inflated with air, and nitrogen accounts for about 78% of the air. Therefore, when inflating tires with nitrogen, the residual air will also make the nitrogen impure. The best practice is to vacuum the tires, but it is usually impossible to achieve a 100% vacuum, so there will still be a very small amount of oxygen residue (1-2%). Correspondingly, the oxygen content in the tire needs to be reduced to about 2-3% to achieve a balance between the internal and external partial pressures. Therefore, in reality, the purity of nitrogen required for inflating tires can only reach 95-98%. It can cause damage to the tires: During the vacuuming process, the tires often deform due to the vacuum. Those familiar with tires know that when vacuuming, the various structural layers of the tire, as well as the cord fabric and steel wires, will also deform, which may lead to delamination of the structural layers or breakage of the cord fabric and steel wires. In other words, inflating with nitrogen can directly cause damage to the tires.
