Yes. All you are doing is diluting the amount of nitrogen in the tire.

Air is already mostly nitrogen. There are more BS stories about nitrogen in tires that you can shake a tire iron at. They use it in some tires like racecars and airplanes because it won't feed oxygen to a fire if you crash. It doesn't leak any slower or give you better mileage.

Nitrogen has a lower thermal expansion coefficient than air which is why it is used in pressure struts and aircraft tires. If it is a standard tire and not a high pressure one, air will work just fine.
