I did before I got rid of all the stuff from my barn....actually my '93 had an original spare tire on a rim. I'm pretty sure that one had the original air but unfortunately I sold it to a dump truck guy.

Tom,
I did some research on this a while back and found that many companies are recommending and selling of course, 100% nitrogen to fill tires. The supposed benefits are reduced moisture and less pressure fluctuation with the phase of the moon. However, it was my opinion that 100% nitrogen would have a greater delta in osmotic differential, and instead I searched high and low until I found some 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon to fill the tires. So far, it has served me well.

As many folks know, British Leyland (MG, Triumph, Jaguar, etc) cars used Lucas as the supplier of their electrics. The same way that ACDelco supplied the electrics for GM cars until the mid 80s. I had a 79 Spitfire and knew about the reliability of the Lucas systems.
As I understand it....The reason that the British drink warm beer is because they have Lucas refrigerators.
Ba-dum-Tss!!

richard, thanks for the comments and i know you have done the research on the air/nitrogen/argon mix. however i have found that the argon tends to cause the schrader valve to stick sometimes, so i would suggest substituting the argon with helium. and bump it up to about 10% for some extra boost.

Nitrogen is fairly common in racing tires. The thought is that tire pressures do not change as much with tire temperature changes.. I have never understood the advantage for street tires.
However,,,propane would be interesting!!!!!

A friend from Britain once told me that they prefer cold beer, but have to drink it warm because they had Lucas refrigerators . . .
