Guys, if any of you want proof that you're getting a decent amount of moisture in your tires, do this: go to any gas station with an air filler. Waste 50 cents to get it running and spray the air at the flat palm of your hand at a distance of about 6 inches. After a few seconds, you'll realize that your hand is starting to get wet. Now, consider the fact that you're putting that into your tires for more than just a few seconds at a time. The water has nowhere to go and is going to change the way the pressure in the tire acts more drastically at varying temperatures. Remember that those gas station air compressors are just drawing ambient air and pressurizing it. So you're getting all the humidity and pollution in the air you breathe compressed into a nice tight tube.
