Plain old "generic" air has been working just fine for me for many years now.
We know this ....but you are out of style. Doesn't this mean anything to you? Just think how sportin' you'll look in front of your friends at the landing with "Green Valve Stem caps" designating that you are IN STYLE with N2 in your tires.....

Or I could buy the green caps for .25 and use regular air
I dont' really see the advantage of all the moisture reduction and all of that, but I can easily see where consistancy of air pressure could be an advantage. Have you ever started out on a trip, and checked your tire pressure at the start, and then again a few hours down the road? sometimes you will see a significant rise in pressure due to the heat buildup, just like a hot air balloon. If I can keep the air pressure basically constant by switching to nitrogen, I would consider that an advantage. If trailering for you only involves going a half mile and back to the ramp, I don't see what it would help, but for extended trips where heat buildup does happen, I can see where it could have an effect on tire life.
Sorry, but the laws of physics don't care what type of gas is in there. Pressure, Volume, & Temperature relationships are the same regardless whether its nitrogen, oxygen, or argon. Of course, if you went with nitrous then at least you have something fun to do while waiting in line at the launch ramp

Yea, but then you'd be called a POSER......(ask your school aged kid what that means!)
The lifting power of Helium would be reduced, since it would be compressed. And would escape VERY quickly. I hope we are getting some humor here, not meant to be serious.
Ok, everyone needs to get some new Argon filled tires!
