My local SET Tyre pro centre did mine for free .The tyre pressure's do stay more stable to the extent that I rarely have to top up .

The problem with nitrogen from your average local tyre fitter is water content . The proper stuff used by motor sport will be pure .
Yes I agree re: moisture content, which is why I only use 'Laserpure' 100% Nitrogen from BOC Gasses

Makes bugger all difference though lol, and if you don't have access to N2 then whenever you check your pressures you'll lose some and be unable to top it up again without going back to the garage!
If we're going to be nerdy about it there is no such thing as 100% pure nitrogen. Lasepure is 99.9992% pure from memory.

And i can beat your BOC lasepure in that i make my own nitrogen with contamination levels down to around 20ppm

Still don't put it in my tyres though.
