How do they get the air which is already in the tire out? Do they create some sort of vaccuum? Otherwise over 80% of whats in the tire will be regular air if they just deflate the tire and hook up nitrogen to repressureize it.

Never said it's just for track use, it's just the primary reason it was used in tires in the first place, a lot of reasons to use it have been found since.

Most of the guys in Thailand are using nitrogen too. Everyone claims better traction, and cool tyres on long trip. I haven't tried it, but will do on the next tyre change, which will be awhile.

Pinguhk is dyslexic. Don't bash him on spelling and all that. Plus this is a car forum, not a spelling forum.

When I was living in Singapore, all the reputable shops used nitrogen to fill the tires. Something to do with the heat and humidity of tropical climes. Nitrogen is less temperature sensitive than regular air. Therefore retains tire pressure better, but if you live in a more temperate climate, you don't need to use nitrogen in your tires. However, you can mix nitrogen with regular air... I've been told by tire 'experts' that it's not an issue.
