When tires are mounted and on a vehicle they are filled with pressurized oxygen and then subject to countless heat cycles (from sun, and road heat). If you want to speed up diffusion of molecules, add pressure and heat. That's how it works with your tires, and that is why the fancy import places use nitrogen in their tires.
