Everyone is trying to over complicate the issue. Nitrogen molecules are larger
than oxygen molecules. Tires and tubes are semi permeable, therefore oxygen
molecules leak out faster. The pressure versus temperature change is very low
with the nitrogen as it has little to no moisture.
Just my
Cars and trucks started coming on stream with nitrogen in their tires around
the same time a tire pressure sensors ?(TPS). The moisture from air will
corrode the small electronic devices. ?Airliners have these sensors as well,
and their tires too are filled with nitrogen.

HA! Thanks Larry. From the link you provided:
Nitrogen is a gas and is still affected by changes in ambient temperature
(about one psi for every 10? Fahrenheit). Nitrogen filled tires will require
pressure be added during the fall/winter months as ambient temperatures and
tire pressures drop.
