The idea behind nitrogen fills isn't about density, its about the size of the molecule, and a nitrogen molecule is bigger than an oxygen molecule. This supposedly helps individual molecules from seeping through the rubber. |

My compressor doesn't use the car's battery. It has it's own power supply. You just have to charge it up once every 6 months, which is that big of a problem.

The oxygen molecule is about 3% smaller than the nitrogen molecule. Works in membrane diffusion oxygen concentrators, but I remain skeptical that you can measure a difference in leakdown rate in a tire. Snake oil.
