Message Since I work in an oil refinery I have access to N2 year round. I have used it exclusively in all my cars (wife's too) for around 9 years and never had a problem.

The thing with N2 is that since it is inert, external forces (outside air pressure and temperature) have no effect on the inside pressure so long as you do not have a leak or have existing air in the tire.

You need to inflate and purge several times in order to get the existing air out. I do recommend this since N2 plus O2 with water (condensation) has the ability to cause oxidation. One of the compounds used in making tires is extremely succeptible to this.

One thing I do not recommend doing. Breathing the N2. It will displace oxygen from your lungs and obviously we know what this means. Death dumb****.
