Nitrogen

I believe an Airworthiness Directive was issued for large passenger aircraft that requires the use of Nitrogen.

There are several reasons for using Nitrogen:

1. its non corrosive

2. its non flammable

3. it less likely to change its volume due to temp

4. it is less likely to change its volume at altitude.

No, tires filled with nitrogen gas will not ride harder than those filled with regular air.

The ride quality will not be affected by the type of gas used to inflate the tires.
