Pure oxygen free wire?

I have read that pure oxygen free wire is less than optimal because of the oxidation that can occur once a current is passed through the wire. Over time, this oxidation will cause greater resistance and hinder the flow of electrons through the wire. However, on JL Audio's website, they offer wire for amp and speaker connections using 99.99% oxygen free wire. Is there a reason for this? Is the thing about oxidation true? I have read before that tinned wire is better because it will resist oxidation. Any of you audio gurus have any insight into this?
