Best Answer

Nitrogen is lighter than air thus saving on fuel costs. More detailed information on the link below.
The moisture content in nitrogen is significantly less than that in compressed air. This allows for a more predictable pressure increase as the tires heat up during use.

I am thinking that One reason for an overnight 10 to 15% loss of pressure when the temperature drops near to, or below the freezing point is because moisture in the air either turns to liquid or freezes out and thereby reduces pressure.
