Plain ol' air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, .9% argon and traces of other gases. Particularly if you have an inexpensive dryer and filter on your compressor, plain compressed air should do you just fine.

Its kinda like an off road Hummer. Sounds cool and all the Big NASCAR guys use it so it must be something I need. In bulk form Nitrogen cost next to nothing, yet despite all its benifits most auto makers still used compressed air in your tires....go figure??
One things for sure...its a great deal if your SELLING nitrogen at $5 a tire.

To actually run 100% in your tires is almost impossible. They would have to suck the air out, almost pull a vacuum, and when you do that you would loose the bead on your tire to the rim and all that 78% stuff would rush in. So actually getting 100% isn't happening, I'd guess you would be lucky to end up with 85% if they just deflate your tires and then add the "Special" stuff.
