Yep. You need three things for combustion: fuel, heat, and oxygen. Air is about 20.9% oxygen. If you have an oxygen enriched atmosphere, then combustion happens more easily and more quickly than it would with just air.
I'm no chemist, but I don't understand why nitorgen would be better than air in tires. The nitrogen would probably have less water in it because of the way it's produced. Maybe that's the key.
