Oxygen is NOT flammable, guy.

Then there's the whole "nitrogen is lighter than air" (by like 3%...really) and is more stable at higher temperatures (something about gas pressures inside the tyres and road friction...but no sensible person over-inflates their tyres to make that an issue).
Personally it's a steaming pile of bull AFAIC.

That would suggest a mechanical fault with the vehicle.. which would also explain why they seem to last longer.
