Check out getnitrogen.com for some facts. It won't hurt to top off with compressed air.
I actually sell the machines and I believe it has some benefit. The main thing isa more constant tire pressure. It leaks out 3 to 4 times slower than compressed air because of the bigger molecule.Nitrogen doesn't have the moisture.
You guys can say what you want. I don't really think its that big a deal. I'm not running it in any of my vehicles, not even the scoot, but to say there is no benefit, snake oil, well.............

Nitrogen is a smaller molecule. It has a lower molecular/atomic weight - In other words, it is a smaller molecule. In addition, Oxygen is normally found in our atmosphere as a 2 atom compound which will have twice the weight indicated, further reducing the validity of the chemical being smaller than Nitrogen.
just thought I would throw that in too.
See below:
Oxygen Symbol: O
Oxygen Atomic Number: 8
Oxygen Atomic Weight: 15.9994Oxygen Symbol: O
Oxygen Atomic Number: 8
