Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work for others. Nitrogen-filled is just a marketing thing, but if someone went through the trouble of using only nitrogen in their air compressors, it just means the air will have less moisture and more stable air pressures that don't fluctuate as much when temperatures change.

Weall paid for the scam when we bought the car. They didn't do it for free and it is built into the price of the car (at a profit)
It is a tank there Mav not a compressor. A simple drier on an air compressor will give the same results as far as moisture goes. The temp fluctuations are minimal at best and only really apply under very heavy use. In a race car it may make sense. In a street driven car there is zero benefit.
