Tires/pressures/temperatures

I think Ron Rueckwald did a medium term study on nitrogen.

Bleeding is frought with the danger of running under inflated if you then drive into colder climates. With experience I've been able to do it. I know how much my tires typically heat up and I know the typical pressure rise when hot. I also know that I can run at a degree of underinflation without carcass damage; although, I acknowledge that I might be shortening the life of the tire a smidge, but I also tend to replace my tires way before their technical expiration date.
