I don't know of any advantages for use in tires, but it is my understanding that nitrogen is used by nascar teams to power air tools because of higher tank volumes. I know that I do not have all of the facts here, but I believe that I understand the principle. Supposedly, much higher volumes of nitrogen can be compressed into a storage tank than plain old air. Nascar teams run their guns off of storage tanks, no live compressors involved. Have you ever seen the air tanks for off-roading? One tank of nitrogen will inflate several large tires where a regular air tank of higher capacity would only inflate 1 tire if you were lucky. Like I said before, I don't have the science to back any of it up, but this is how I understand it.
