Nitrogen tire filling is just to keep someone else's wallet full. There's nothing to gain. In fact, the biggest purported benefit is that nitrogen can't seep out through the porosity of the rubber; but if that's true then with air already being 78% nitrogen any seepage will be the remaining 22%, so you only have to top it off a few times before it's probably over 90% nitrogen.
In a race car it might make a difference, but a regular car driven in regular traffic will never have any sort of difference.
