can you imagine 747 tyre pressure sat on dubai at +50c --then climb to 37000feetair temp -57c
then decend to heathrow --tyres would flat if they used compressed air and there could be a lump of ice in the tyre

if your going to run nitrogen it kind of defeats the object if your not going to replace with nitrogen once your at the track if your changing around tyre pressures
for a full blown race car yes, for a one hit wonder i dont see the benefit (compressed air is 80% nitrogen anyway)
