Nitrogen is dry, it holds no moisture so then it does not hold as much heat as regular compressed air. Maybe thats why it fluctuates less. One poster said if he had 100% nitrogen he wouldn't see any change is pressure. That is false. You can't change physics. If something is heated weather it's air or Nitrogen, it will expand. Don't know how sensitive his guage is but pressure will go up. We use it in race tires because it doesn't hold heat like compressed air does. Nitrogen also leaks slower, possably the size of the molecule has something to do with that, I can't remmember exactly but I think thats why. For what you'd be looking for it's really not worth the trouble. Your not splitting hairs on tire temps like we do at the track.
