Hi,
Aside from the safety issue as hinted in the
Hindenburg remark, you'd also have a very tough time keeping the tires inflated. Hydrogen is the smallest atom and smallest molecule. It would seep through the spaces between the molecules of the Tire Rubber and past the rim and probably the valve stem as well. You'd have to refill your tires every couple miles. Not a very good choice for the job at hand. Also, point of information - it doesn't make the Tires
lighter, it simply makes them more
bouyant...
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
