The only difference that would make nitrogen seen really beneficial

the nitrogen could be usefull.
In theory, perhaps. In practice, tires oxidize from the outside
as
well
as
the inside. I've noticed that every time I've bought expensive,
long-life tires, they have to be chucked because the sidewalls are
rotting, even though
the tread is still good. It's not just air, but pollutants
(particularly in
the cities). Ozone, a common urban pollutant, is particularly bad
for tires.

Ordinarily, I would just let this slide; but since the greenies have
decided that CO2 (which is nature's means of recycling oxygen) and
O3
(which is nature's cleanser of the atmosphere) are "pollutants"
according to the strange reasoning of their adled brains,
Here is an explanation for you.
If you find it too difficult to understand I'll have a look around
for
the Litle Golden Book of Wonder version for you.

You are too kind!
BTW, it did make a good case for the expansion of nuclear power--which
I
have long favored.
No, it didn't.
Maybe if I find something with pictures for you.
