What would happen if you put air in a tire that was filled with nitrogen?
Got a screw in my tire that is filled with nirtogen and am taking it to the dealership to get it fixed. Luckily they use nitrogen, however not to many places around here do. I know better than to put air in it but was just wondering what would happen if you did?

no issue at all, when an aircraft tire must be serviced with normal air, the book states simply to drain the air and refill with N2 when you get to a location that has it.

BOGUS or True?
Let's play a little fun intellectual game for all of you that think Nitrogen is "better" than regular air.
Which of these claims are BOGUS?
Which of these claims are BOGUS?
- Nitrogen leaks out more slowly than air. BOGUS!
- Nitrogen doesn't promote corrosion of tire rims like air. TRUE
- Nitrogen offers a smoother ride and less rolling resistance. BOGUS!
- Nitrogen doesn't cause dry rot of the rubber in the tires. BOGUS!

The difference is so small that the dollar/benefit ratio is questionable considering Nitrogen is more difficult to get and also costs more. In my opinion, it is not worth it.
I would also like to remind you that Nitrogen makes up about 78% ambient air. So how big of a difference do you think it will make versus regular air?
