        Greetings!
           with all of the current interest in checking & maintaining
        "proper" tire inflation - which is INDEED somewhat critical
        in autos as lightweight as a MIA, and becomes moreso in racing
        applications - i'm surprised that no one has suggested (unless
        i missed it) a very simple, inexpensive solution available to
        all of us... i think.
           bleed & refill your tires from your SCUBA tank!
           someone noted that the moisture content is significant in
        the differential between cold/hot tire pressures. since (if?)
        this is correct, scuba tank "air" is MUCH dryer than most other
        compressed air sources. ok, it's not nitrogen, but it is 
        certainly more readily available!
