Specialized Nitrogen from that tank is a drier state of air versus the ambient air that the gas station compressor draws. With no or less moisture, the air volume is more consistent and is not subject to evaporation etc. In countries with variable climate, this also helps reduce temperature-related variations/fluctuations. Bottom line is nitrogen only comes in handy when you are tuning/fiddling the car and making different adjustments to the air pressures. That is why race cars run on nitrogen. Here accuracy/stability in air pressures is vital as you need a uniform base to make adjustments. I say proper maintenance goes a longer way than money spent on nitrogen fills. Also, I'd buy a compressor so that you can fill/check your air pressure in the cool of the morning before you set off.</blockquote>
