Nitrogen filled tires
The reason people put nitrogen into tires, especially race teams is due to the expansion rate due to temperature of nitrogen vs. air. Nitrogen is dried so it contains very little water which is what causes the air to expand contract with temperature.
Not worth the issue and hassles unless you are concerned about the exact tire pressure.
In racing a 1 psi change makes a big difference when handling at 100+ mph is concerned.
Check your tire pressure weekly (or monthly) and you should be fine.

Well, to maximize your 'air', make sure the compressor you are using has a good dryer system on it. That way you are introducing a lot less moisture to your tire. Try and avoid the gas station air stations as they don't have any dryers on them. To test this, spray a little air over your hand and see how many droplets of water form on your skin.
