 Cold tyre pressures - sooty123
Nitrogen is used on inflation of aircraft tyres, it's to reduce corrosion primarily and has a secondary of reduced Oxygen content in cases of fire hot brakes and/or if there's a rapid decompression of the tyre through the plug*.
Probably a marketing thing on cars to get an extra couple of quid out of customers, it won't do any harm, but it's of no real benefit on cars. No harm either, I wouldn't care if it was free, but wouldn't pay extra.


* The exact name of which escapes me right now.
