Paying too much for nitrogen in your tires is a waste of money. Most people will top up the pressure with air anyway.
The benefits, if any, are hard to determine but it is probably easier on the TPMS transmitters.
Nitrogen acts just like air, expanding and contracting the same for a given temperature rise or fall.
It will not attack your inner tire surfaces, but after four years or so they are scrap anyway but they will have pristine inner walls, so what.
It may leak through the tire wall slower, so add air a bit more often.
`They' say it keeps the tires cooler and more stable, how?
So where are the benefits?


These people say its the best thing to come along since sliced bread;

I count these people among the `They'.
I think they are on shaky grounds and it it for their own ends, money.

Best idea, keep the tires properly inflated all the time.
