Please explain exactly how one goes about overflowing a tire.

I think he is using the overflow analogy incorrectly but his point is
the same. If the tire is at one atmosphere with air, you fill it to
proper pressure and the original 20% oxygen is now diluted to about 1/30
of its total content.

I guess you can fill the tire, let it deflate and fill it again to purge
even more.

Personally, I use a secret blend of gasses in my tires. It has argon
and carbon dioxide too. For $10 each I'll fill yours.

Doesn't the argon make your tires heavier? I've always thought using nitrogen gas laced with mercaptan odorant would be a good thing to inflate tires with. That way, you would know immediately if you had a leak in a tire. ^_^
