[DeTomaso] Tires, Tire Life, and Nitrogen

[bill gaino]

I have been told the molecule of Nitrogen is larger than the Air molecule and it will take longer to seep through the spaces of the Rubber molecule that the tires are made of.  But really I did have a set of Hoosier slicks, when I soaped up the side walls, air seeping through the side walls made it look like they had shaving foam on them.
