First I figure that they are going to have a sidewall to prevent mud, snow, etc from getting into the webbing. Causing the tire to be unbalanced.
Than I wonder, what makes them stay on the rim?
BTW, I have used N2 for a temp fix.
Here is a link for Inflation Zone.

I had a tire center tell me "Don't put that stuff in your tires or we won't do your service anymore, it'll blow up!"
Aircraft tires and landing struts are serviced with nitrogen. Why less change in pressure with changes in temperature. And they go from extremes of -20 or more in flight to being superheated during landings.

Aircraft landing struts are charged with dry nitrogen to eliminate the possibility of moisture freezing thereby rendering the strut(s) inoperable. A frozen strut landing can be a most memorable experience.
