My RV has (had) nitrogen in the tires. When I was getting the RV service (slide) the other day, they told me that they put regular air in the tires because the tires were low.
Does anyone have experience with adding regular air to tires that are equipped with Nitrogen?
They told me at the shop that they do it all the time and it doesn't matter???
I use a custom blend in my tires... 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and whatever else comes out of the compressor. Yes using air is diluting the nitrogen fill that is in the tire. How much and does it make a difference is open to debate. I don't think that it makes a huge difference in an RV tire. In a performance tire on a race car, yes.

Our factory tires had nitrogen and when the weather got cold they needed air, so I put in air rather than run them low. There were no places near me that have nitrogen so air it was. The new tires have good ole fashioned 100% American air in them now.

Has to do with moisture absorption and temperature. Tiny, if an difference than air unless you have an F-15. No problem mixing. Much, much better to have right air pressure than to have nitrogen.

Mine are nitrogen, I need to top them up maybe once a year, I do it at home with good ole dirty compressed air. They may take 2lbs a year, so in 25 years they will be back to 100% air.
