Actually you do have a choice of the type of air that you chose for both summer and winter tire care. Once you change from ordinary air to pure nitrogen there's no need ever to change back to regular tire gas station low quality air. Nitrogen is an inert gas therefore contains no moisture, and dirt to cause rust and corrosion inside your wheels. It maintains a much more even tire pressure in cold and hot temperatures. Tire life is enhanced up to 20% because there is no impurities in the compressed nitrogen to damage the inside sidewalls of the tires. Nitrogen molecules are hundreds of times larger than the air we breathe therefore it will not leak off as fast.

It's all a joke.
There are however companies that will remove the air from your tires and replace it with nitrogen for anywhere between $20 and $100. They claim longer tire life and better ride but it's a scam to get your money. The air you breath contains around 80% nitrogen so you see the scam they're trying to pull.
I, however have a tractor with calcium chloride filled rear tires for rollover stability. On occasion, the tires get a little low so I top them up with nitrogen. Air contains oxygen and when oxygen and calcium chloride come in contact with steel, it will rust. To prevent this I use nitrogen and the inside of the wheels should last a long time.

I increase the tire pressure for the winter (to compensate for the colder air/ lower pressure) and bleed some out in the summer (hotter air/ higher pressure) to maintain the proper PSI level. This costs a whopping $0.

It sounds like a carnival pitch. Nobody recommends changing air in the tires that I've ever heard or read about. However, some recommend replacing the air with nitrogen gas. Mostly, you just need to put more air in your tires when the real cold weather comes.

This is a joke, right? Air is air. Just make sure the pressure is correct, no further action is necessary.

never heard of summer/winter air for your tires.
i always keep them inflated to the psi # recommended on the tire.

You should change the air when you replace the curb magnets.
