Just my experience here ...
My pickup came with nitrogen filled tires. I did notice that the tires seemed to hold pressure better than 'regular air' filled tires through the temperature changes of winter.
Other than that there was no noticeable effects.
Personally I wouldn't pay extra for it.

I have some swamp land they are going to drain real cheap LOL

This Nitrogen in tires thing has come up every few years for ever . Its a easiy extra $12 or what ever for tire places to make a little extra, Are you going to change your blinker fluid as well as that can save weight also ;)
If you research the topic online the only ones saying its worth it is those selling it the difference is not enough to ever be worth it to a normal person
JMO and its your money so if you want that its your choice but really the swampland ??

I was offered to try the Nitrogen from a local shop. They wanted me to report back my findings during a trip I was planing. I did not notice any real change in pressure change in cold to warm tires. Tire temps were consistent with the temps I had before the change. All in all I didn't notice any change.

NOT WORTH THE CHANGE in my honest opinion!!!

Oxygen molecules are smaller than Nitrogen so escape first. Refill with more 80% Nitrogen air and yur increasing the percentage of Nitrogen. Repeat.

In Arizona, the air is already dry. So, over time, I'm filling my tires with dry Nitrogen. :D
