Nitrogen is done by dealer. Nitrogen will improve your ride and also make your tires last longer. I owned a small trucking company and nitrogen really helped on the tires wearing out. I only lose about a pound of air pressure every six months with nitrogen.

I suspect BMVM was making a funny. The air we breath (and put in our tires) is 78% nitrogen and 22% oxygen.

The only way it will help with tires wearing out is by leaking out a little bit slower, which can be rectified by simply checking tire pressures once a month.

Yeah I know it sounds crazy but I ran nitrogen in all my company trucks and my car/and rv. Check out Nitrofill.com for info.

There are only two advantages to Nitrogen in tires; Nitrogen tends to be drier (won't absorb/carry H2O which makes pressures more stable as temperatures rise) and Nitrogen molecules are larger so they don't permeate the tires (leak-down) as quick.
Putting a dryer on your compressed air supply works very, very much the same.
As it was said, we already are operating on 78% Nitrogen.
BTW, Nitrogen does absolutely nothing to improve your ride, all things (pressure) being equal.
Your tires are springs and the higher the pressure, the firmer the spring.
