The reason commercial airplanes use nitrogen in their tire is to prevent tire
explosions.
As the tires heat up they out gas hydrocarbons which can then mix with any
oxygen in the tire and ignite.
Look up the Mexicana Airlines 727 crash on March 31, 1986. Attributed to a
tire explosion in the wheel well caused by filling the tire with air coupled
with overheated brakes.
