Not nitrogen , again !
If at sea level I removed the valve stem from a tire ,the air inside would equalize at one atmosphere .Replace valve stem and brought tire up to 33 pounds with nitrogen , contents would be 50 percent ...

I tried that but the darn tire lettering wouldn't line up when I got
it home.
Also did the helium thing, but found it had too much "float", and I
was losing traction on steep hills with no load in the pickup bed.
BTW - the folks carrying small nitrogen tanks -vs- a compressor, should look into C02.
Go to Power Tank- then make your own.
Off roaders and RVers been using C02 for a looooong time!
Fill at: Paint ball stores, home brew stores, welding supply, etc.
Expansion ratio of C02 liquid to a gas is 450 to one.
.
$350 for a Power Tank 10lb basic set up
My 12V DC compressor didn't cost that much and has never needed refilling in 8 yrs. Plus it doesn't take up as much room
