I would say the dealer's gauge is off, if you have two that read the same and the tires are at the same temperature.

The main benefit of nitrogen is it inflates the dealers bottom line. The Nitrogen molecule is a little larger than oxygen, so theoretically the gas diffuses a little slower out of the tire. So check 'em once a month and keep the $20.

remember you have a 80% nitrogen fill to begin with

Some weekend dirt track racers use it because a tank in the trailer is handier than a compressor. Also a rumor that it is more stable

A nitrogen tank is handy to have.. I get one from the shop sometimes to run an impact where I do not have access to a compressor..

Since that tanked nitrogen is dry having no water, there's no water to boil a make steam to vary the pressure. So for racing where tire pressures are critical to survival its a pretty good idea. Otherwise its an expense that you can't prove you paid (unlike a chrome dodad) for.
