   But you should check tire pressures with some regularity anyway, so what   
   does it matter?

   Oh, I know.   
      
   As it happens, I use nitrogen for my tires...   
      
   ...on my racing car.   
      
   I do it more for practical purposes; it means I don't need to have a   
   compressor at the track. The racing tires in my class all bleed down   
   very quickly, so they need to be filled pretty much before each session.
