Nope. No benefit for the big rigs, either. The same principles apply, just higher operating pressures (100-120PSI), and obviously, larger tires.

Nitrogen only has a benefit in a potentially flammable or explosive environment.

3/4 of tire problems can usually be traced back to improper tire maintenance; i.e. underinflation.

Costco will balance your tires and fill with nitrogen for less then $10. Free if you buy tires!

Ok take a deep breath and exhale. Now one more time. Guess what, that didn't cost you one penny and neither does my air compressor when I air up. But if you want to pay to air up your tires, more power to ya!!!
