"The primary advantage of nitrogen in tires used for racing is that tire pressures change much less with changes in temperature. As the race tire slides across the pavement, it heats up, causing an increase in pressure. Nitrogen-filled tires don't build pressure as much, thus tire pressures are better controlled for optimum performance.
That same advantage works for street tires as well, particularly this time of year. Tires filled with nitrogen won't decrease in pressure as much as air-filled ones when the outside air temperature drops. Remember, air-filled tires drop roughly one pound per square inch for each 10-degree drop in temperature.
Secondly, nitrogen is moisture-free, meaning less condensation and corrosion inside the tire -- including the wheel itself. Thirdly, nitrogen tends to be less prone to leakage through porosity of tires and wheels.
The additional claims you mention are spin-offs of the three basic advantages. "Cooler, less fuel, longer life, fewer failures and improved handling" all revolve around the reduction in pressure loss over time with nitrogen. If motorists kept their tires properly inflated with air, those issues would be far less significant.
The bottom line? Nitrogen is a good thing for your tires. And better tire shops are now offering and using nitrogen to inflate tires."

ML430 wins 24 hours Paris 4x4 2002

18/09/2002: The 10th edition of the 24 hour Paris 4x4 race crowned a standard vehicle, a Groine Mercedes ML 430, driven by Thierry Magnaldi in rally raids. Thierry teamed up with other members of TEAM Groine: Jipé Strugo, George Lansac and the Spaniard José Villalba. Congratulations to these 4 men for the exploit carried out this weekend, vis-a-vis a very large and tough field. Commented Magnaldi: "I teamed with George Lansac, Jean-Pierre Strugo and José Villaba. The race wasn't easy. We had set up two teams, one for the day and one for the night. I ran at night with Lansac. The car functioned very well and we didn't have any concern with it." Three other MLs finished, one even in the top 15. http://www.whnet.com/4x4/trips.html
