Two comments:
All gases do not have ALL the same properties, but all
ideal gases (including nitrogen and dry air) obey the ideal gas laws,
thus they all have the same pressure vs. temperature relationship.
Secondly, when was the last time you had dry rot on the inside of
your tires? I don't think that is something we have to worry about.
