Re: Tire pressure question
I did say a good dry source of air, 1% vapor is not too bad. As to the oxygen, if we consider tires as having a life span of about 6-7 years due to wear and ozone etc. doing its thing on the outside of the tire we can accept less damage being done inside the tire.
I love the nitrogen sellers glib ads, they might as well be selling snake oil.
Never store your tires in a confined space with an electric motor that uses brushes, that will definitely damage your tires, ozone is being generated every time the motor runs and sparks.

Re: Tire pressure question
All this dialogue has me wondering. Do the Tire Manufacturers reference the maximum air pressure as 50 psig or 50 psia? I'm betting they aren't referencing psia (absolute) which is 14.7 greater than the psig (gauge) figure. Probably related to the general public not being knowledgeable of the difference.
Might actually be an issue for me related to an over-engineering viewpoint.
Later,

I like to dumb things down to make the gauge say what it is supposed to be.

The only pressure was my blood pressure, a ticket for a $35 fine.
