As someone stated above air is 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. I have a hard time believing that you would see a differ thermal expansion with air vs nitrogen. With that said most shop air compressors do not have sufficient moisture separators to remove all of the moisture out of the air. So you air pumping air and water into your tires. The combination of water and oxygen will cause the rim to state to corrode air start to leak. By using nitrogen out of a bottle from the local welding supply store you are almost guaranteed that the nitrogen is 99.5% dry or better. If you want to run dry air go to your local scuba store and fill up your tires with their air.
