You can add air with no problem. You won't be adding that much air (very little oxy).

It does not take a special tool or shop to check the pressure in a tire filled with nitrogen you can do it yourself. now filling is a different story there are many threads on this, I topped mine off with air when needed.

Most of what you breath is nitrogen.

Air is adequate and you can carry a small 12 volt compressor for top up.......

Regular everyday air, whether from an air compressor or the air you breath is 78% nitrogen. It's a gimmick. Nitrogen hasn't any benefits unless you race NASCAR, fly commercial or fighter jets or the space shuttle. I think it has something to do with high speed, high friction applications.

Lemkeman, welcome!... I see this was your 3rd post.
This is a much talked about issue here.
This thread will quickly turn into what they call a 'popcorn' thread, meaning sit back and enjoy the popcorn while this thread goes viral with every opinion known to man.
I suggest you search and read the hundreds and hundreds of prior posts about your very question.

If you have a slow leak, just keep refilling with air. Eventually all the oxygen and other gasses will leak out leaving nothing other than nitrogen.

PPSSSTT.... Lemkeman.... don't tell anyone that I told you this because the nitrogen police will come and take me away....  .... Nitrogen filled tires is close to a scam to part you from your money... use a 'regular' tire gauge and 'regular' 'air' and you will be fine. But, don't tell anyone... because they will come and take you away for putting 'unauthorized' 'air' in YOUR tires, also....
