The higher the compression the less moisture and nitrogen is probably delivered at very high pressure and still the air supplied from a regular compressor is plenty dry.
nitrogen usually is 'dry' with little or no water vapor, this means its temp/pressure is linear/more predictable.
Far more care should be placed on the quality and load range of the tire.
OP, Did you choose the tire mostly on price or quality?
Not really.
Compressed air has lots of moisture unless it goes thru a dryer.
