drive your car alot harder and the tires will wear out faster than decomposing,,grandma.

Air is 70% nitrogen. Just top it off with normal compressed air.

depends on how long the car sits, for my clients with collections we always swap it out and the tires wont break as fast from the inside.

We have 2 different systems at my dealership. One is a single tire fill and the other does all 4 at the same time. Neither one use a nitrogen tank. They have a membrane in them that pulls the nitrogen from the air. They have a digital guage that shows you the % of nitrogen. It is 90%+. I would think you could pick up the single tire at a time machine cheap! They were to slow for a busy shop.

Precisely the situation. A few low-mile collectible vehicles, boat/car trailers, RV, and trucks that are only driven occasionally. Not really an issue for a high-mile daily driver.
