Where can one find nitrogen around riverside to fill ones tires?
Or even is there a place which lists all the places to get nitrogen for your tires?

he he...Boy there has been lots of debate around this subject. I think it was ultimately decided that using nitrogen on car tires has an un-noticeable effect in all arenas including pressure, moisture effects on the rim, inflation duration, etc.

What are you hoping to accomplish by doing this?

I would like it for the pressure. I see my TP rise at least 4 PSI according to TPS.

I thought gases expand at a constant rate? Nitrogen filled tires would expand just as much as air considering the street application.

Yea air!

The reason I want nitrogen is that it is "dry" no water vapor thus the water vapor wont affect tire pressure.

I don't know much about using Nitrogen in tires but I do have some experiance with gasses, nitrogen in particular as I'm a chemist. Just so you know

"Dry" gas is a realtive term and short of using regaent grade or better source gas you not going to see any major differences from compressed air.

What you are trying to accomplish, seems to be a tad bit extreme. But I hope you accomplish your task.

My tires are filled with nitrogen. Most high-end shops nowadays use nitrogen instead of air for many reasons. Supposedly the air leakage from the tires is limited to 1/4 the time. Costco filled my new tires with nitrogen for no additional cost.
