Umm, it would probably work, but not very well, different orifice.
So what about that nitrogen in tires ....good idea or ...8/

Air only here. If necessary, save the money from buying nitrogen and buy an air tester.
Put the extra money on the wife.

I probably would pass on nitrogen in ground vehicles. We use it in aircraft tires to keep moisture, and the freezing thereof at altitude, to a minimum, pressure fluctuations, and it has some effect on tire fires also as I understand.
On a car? Don't know if it's worth the cost, but it won't hurt anything.

I use nitrogen because my dealership doesn't charge me since I bought my tires there and I think the hot/cold fluctuation is less which makes for more consistent handling. But if I had to pay for it I would probably just use air...
I just use plain old air. Its not worth it to me to do the nitrogen.
Same here, except I use new air.
I run some of the gas chromatographic here at the University of Tulsa, sometimes when im bored or ill let the GC take a few samples of the atmosphere inside this special projects building. Our air we breath around here is 55% nitorgren and 44% o2 with some other misc traceable that we don't account for in petroleum GC's
that is at least what our gc says...these things are old as dirt so...take it at face value...
The more you know right....

My thoughts exactly
How could you get all of the air out?
If you put a vacuum on the tire, it would suck it right off the rim.
I have seen them out nitrogen in, they seat the tire on the rim with air, then finish filling it with nitrogen.
I will keep my money to waste on precious metals... lead
By purging. the nitrogen will displace the air. I would not be surprised if you could bet upwards of 98 or 99% purity. Of course that will use a lot of nitrogen that would be wasted.
As to the debate at hand. nitrogen filled tires are a waste outside of specialized environments. I used to fill my road race tires with it to better regulate pressure differentials between cold and hot tires.
