not sure at the mo,will find out more tomorrow and let you know.I just wondered if anyone used this allready google may give some answers though.

Meant to be less moisture and it doesn't expand as much in heat so more constant pressures when the tyres are up to temp.

I'm sticking with air though.

most gas inflation systems for inflatables and liferafts use a combination of gas ,nitrogen /co2 for various reasons .eg helps stop ice pellets forming which can shoot through the sponsons,though a diffuser nozzle can help eliminate this , also with certain gases a smaller gas cylinder can be used ,and volume expansion rates can be erratic in certain tempratures . r.n.li. had a few problems with the development of the self righting bags on the atlantic class ribs.
