Anybody know the volume of air in a typical tubeless rear tyre?
Tyre/wheel volume?

Work it out
Or a bit easier:
A tire on a wheel is basically a torus.
Formula for Volume of a torus= 2*(pi)^2*R*r^2
Where R=distance from center of wheel to center of tube
r=radius of circle formed by tire/wheel (cross section)
If the wheel is a 17 and the rim is six inches, volume =(approx) 1.85 cubic feet.
At two bar (28 psi) that's 3.7 cubic feet of gas.

Will that be the same for Nitrogen then 
Different densities and all that stuff
