Since O2 and the rest bleed out so quickly virtually all tires have just Nitrogen. Molecules are the same size so it must be some voodoo power of the green cap.
well oxygen molecules are slightly smaller than nitrogen, even though atomic weight is higher. So tires will loose slightly less pressure but not much. And with todays tire construction it would take a LONG time before all the oxygen bleed out.
Really all a dry nitrogen fill does is eliminate water vapor which can go from gas to liquid and have a bigger pressure change effect. For those us where a few PSI is no big deal, no problem. Could do basically the same thing with plain dry air. All gases obay boyles law for pressure vs. temperature.
