Well, I can't do that... Because (as I've already said), I've put 20K miles on... And have measured tread depth... AND have not had uneven wear....

And why would the center relax and not the outers?

N2 is a whole different can of worms.... N2, will diffuse faster through a substance compared to O2 (just take a peek at a periodic table).... But, considering air is 78% N2 and most industrial gas supplies will bring you to 90% N2.... Whatever - it's 12% more of a gas that's atomically smaller (and thus easier to flow through interstitials and vacancies)... N2 is nice as a source of dry gas - nothing more. No need for air drying and it's very convenient.

Bias ply is a very different thing.... Wearing out centers is a bias ply problem, that's something radial tires solved. But, given the ease into the market, the association of high pressure and ballooning persisted. Thus the myth of today...
