I run nitrogen in my tires as my work offers it ... the only benefit I can see is that it will control the expansion of air since there is none, also since the nitrogen molecules are larger than air, general seepage of air through side walls valve stem leaks etc .. is slightly reduced. I still have my wheels capped off every week though ..
