The page says: "The reason -- air contains moisture and moisture in tires expands and contracts, meaning air pressure fluctuates. Nitrogen does not." Unless I've forgotten everything I learned in thermodynamics, any gas confined in a fixed volume will change pressure as the temperature changes. Costco forgot the ideal gas law: PV = nRT. In a tire, V (volume), n (moles of gas), and R (universal gas constant) are fixed. So, P (pressure) will vary with T (temperature).

Damn Corbin! You one smart puppy!!! Get em baby!! Yes, all gases will fluctuate with temp. Dry pumped aargon will just as much as dry pumped nitrogen.
