That was Mike Sandford's report, not Pete's.

The below seems to suggest nitrogen, or CO2, is not going to make any difference.

But the presence, or absence, of water vapor might make a difference. Apparently water vapor doesn't behave as an ideal gas at higher pressures. Might be worth checking with a test on a humid day.

If oxygen is permeating through the tire walls that's actually a good thing since it's reducing the pressure increase we see between pre and post-cals.
