Nitrogen increases pressure with temperature just like any other gas.


Yea. really.
Nitrogen must be one of the top Internet myths (well at least the most misunderstood).

What Kevin said- the pressure does increase.

Moisture content in the air is the main reason for higher pressure increases.
Nitrogen is dryer that the air everyone uses only because it comes out of a plant that controls this unlike the air guys use from a crappy home/garage/racetrack compressor that hasn't been drained in months and has no moisture filter.

Nitrogen's used ONLY because the temp rise is predictable.

I saw this when I was watching a CART race years ago, and they were talking about how they used Nitrogen in their tires to keep the tires pressure stable, due to being inert gas.
And this was before Al Gore invented the internet
