Water vapour's a gas too.Until it condenses, which it won't while pressurized, it's just another gas

Default I'm open to good science that shows how air is not suitable for passenger car tires.

A mix of gasses, afaik, should follow the same Gas Laws of P and V as any single gas. Likely there are some differences in compressed gasses in terms of thermaldynamics and latent heat when passing from one state of matter to another, but I don't see how or what is different w/ C0, O, N, C02 singly or mixed and not changing state. What the service claims is the expansion is "more predictable" (iirc) well, that's nice but I don't need to do those sort of calculations to drive to the strip bar. I'm calling it "busted" in terms of any REAL-WORLD effect.
