If you really want to end this business; drain and fill the tires with nitrogen 3X's. That will stop all of this.
other than nitrogen sources usually being free of water, Boyles law still holds. Temp will rise pretty close to filling with a dry source of air. Since dry air is already 80% nitrogen.
Now if air source has fair amount of water, then the tire may show slightly higher pressure than dry air fill.
For normal use, not an issue. Now if your doing something where 1 psi makes a difference, then dry nitrogen gives consistency. But then dry "air" would do the same.
And the other attribute of Nitrogen is that even though it's molecular weight is lower than Oxygen, it is a slightly larger molecule so pressure loss through the tire is lower, but we are talking about fractions of a psi/month.
