If nitrogen in the tires diffuses out of the tires more slowly than other gasses, wouldn't the concentration of nitrogen in the tires increase gradually over time...

Outstanding logic! Truly: I know something about this stuff, and I just never thought of this. I owe you a drink or something.

And to think: all this time, my big worry (confessed here for the first time) was that using plain old atmospheric air, with all that icky water vapor in it, was going to make my tires rust. HPH
