OK may not of helped your tires from old age but how many times have you had to add air to bring them back up to a normal range. Dry nitrogen is thicker than air and does expand as much as air when heated, there for doesn't seep or leak out no where near as fast. Indy car and dragsters use it all the time. Sure you don't always have it at your disposal and you can still use compressed air when ever needed. But if you ever have the chance deflate and then inflate your tires 2 or 3 times, you will see... I check my tires once every few months and only 2 or 3 psi low. My Ford Focus I added air only one time in a year.
