Ha we got a nitrgen tank at work so im vacuuming out the air and purging nittogen in and out then setting to manufactures 34/36 see whats up

I always have. As long as your tires have a very good seal and don't bleed down you will notice more even tire wear and very little pressure build up as they heat up. I also run it in all my cage tires. I personally have experienced all the benifits nitrogen has to offer. If you have a slow leak it is a waste of money though.

have a compressor at home and access to nitrogen, but not worth getting caught over using it for personal use

If you have a good source of compressed air (dry) then it doesn't make much difference. The biggest swings are from water vapor that can come from places that don't drain their compressor. Air is already 78% nitrogen. The 21% of oxygen does permeate the rubber at a slightly faster rate than the nitrogen. Both air and nitrogen act as an ideal gas at these pressures and temperatures so the temperature pressure effect is the same for both. Its not worth going out of your way or paying extra imo, but its not completely useless. It certainly won't hurt.

I was bored at work and they set us up with a tank so nitro tires! Cant hurt and it entertained me for 15 minutes.
