The benefit is that nitrogen doesn't expand (or contract) nearly as much as oxygen does, so fewer cold-weather low-pressure situation.
I really didn't expect this to turn into such a lengthy thread! I pulled into Discount Tire on my way to work (where the general response was "why does that car only have two wheels?') when I found out that the dealership had overinflated the back tire. Thank you all for the great info here!
In the Prius world it's common to run 3PSI over spec to get better mileage. On that note, I replaced my totaled white one with a 2014 red one to match the CB! CB doesn't need a solar panel to keep the interior cool though
