That would be dangerous, as pure oxygen is flammable. Oxygen is in the air—and water vapor (which is heavy)—that we normally use to fill our tires. Otherwise, spot on. Go nitrogen and save some fuel! Also, keep in mind that the six-month top off probably only applies to newer tires that haven't developed any micro leaks, and that you should still check your pressure regularly. Curb damage, potholes, etc. could cause pressure loss. This is a good idea; however, we don’t use oxygen to fill our tires. That would be dangerous, as pure oxygen is flammable.
