Nitrogen filling stations cost upwards of $5000. The folks who buy
them need a return on investment, so they tout the benefits of
nitrogen so they can sell it to you. To my knowledge, there is no
research that shows any thing that makes it worth the money that the
consumer spends. It's a profit center (once the machine is paid off)
for the business that buys the equipment, nothing more.
Racing teams use nitrogen to fill the tires so that they can have a
consistent rise in temperature and pressure because of the lack of
moisture in the tire. Street tires don't need it.

I just purchased a new GMC vehicle and the dealer offered the
following new package called "Nitro Fill'. The claim is that
nitrogen is better than compressed air in a tire. They claim that
nitrogen is a dry gas and is free of moisture. It doesn't
deteriorate the rubber and it is lss susceptible to air loss with
temperature changes.
I'd be interested to hear what the "group" thinks about this. Thanks
