Nitrogen is pumped into your tire just like air. However, unless you're using it in a race car, it's a waste of time and effort. Race cars use nitrogen to help keep tire pressures more consistent (less pressure build up with heat) than regular air, that way, the car handles the same over many laps. But for a regular passenger car, it's just an expensive gimmick some tire shops are using. It will not benefit your vehicle.

Air is around 70 percent nitrogen. So inflating tires with a bottle of pure nitrogen shouldn't be any different than using air.

Inert gas such as nitrogen is no more effective than air for tire inflation. It is a sales gimmic and keeps you comming back to that dealership for nitrogen in your tires. I an a professional auto technician with over thirty years in the busness and do not see any advantage. Because you cannot apply 27 in. hg. to evaculate all the old air out to install Nitrogen in, as this would dis- mount the tire.

Just eliminate the oxygen out of the air you pump in and you're almost there (there would still be some trace gasses)
My question to you would be W H Y ? ;-)

Why? Are you trying to make your car lighter or something? It would make as much sense as helium...

nitrogen would freeze the rubber and it would crack open
