Nitrogen mixed with normal air
Nitrogen
F1 teams use Nitrogen to fill the tires because of its low dilatation compared to air, a small dilatation in a F1 tire will result in unbalancing the car.
because they would be flat and you would be screwed
most used is nitrogen..

There's moisture in air. When you fill your tires with compressed air, the moisture goes in the tire too. Moisture then has potential to rust out the rim from the inside. They use other gas (nitrogen?) that doesn't have moisture. Usually garages will put green air valve caps on tires filled with gas.

It is nitrogen.

Nitrogen gas is used (a machine is used to convert air into nitrogen gas). It improves tire wear & gas mileage by reducing tire temperature. Normal compressed air also contains moisture, which is not good for rubber let alone tires. For more information, please contact your local tire center or auto dealer.
there is considerable debate about this, it is used in race car tires because the pressure is more constant from cold to hot. In theory you get better gas mileage because of this. I use it in my drag car and after a burnout the pressure doesn't rise like air when hot. The reason for this is that nitrogen has no moisture in it, the moisture content in compressed air expands and contracts at a big rate in relation to heat or the lack of.
