As in long drives tyre bulge a lot and gets heated.
With nitrogen, tyre expands less & good ride is ensured.
Earlier in my hawk when i used to fill 32 Psi normal air recommended by M&M.
The tyre used to bulge upto 38 psi during long drives.
The ride used to be bumpy.
When nitrogen was filled with same quantity max it comes upto 34.6 as in TPMS(Tyre pressure Monitoring System).
And you don't need to check pressure every now & then.
You need to fill it once in 3 or 4 months is what i follow.

Yes i agree but what happens in case of a sudden unexpected puncture where you will not get Nitrogen? You will have to remove Nitrogen from all tyres then and fill up normal air again. This is a rare case but still i believe its better going in with normal air. During long trips i never check air in my Safari , i don feel any bumpy ride too.
In that isolated case the spare tyre would do the job.But in the hawk due to the availability of TPMS you can notice the change in pressure.
Nitrogen is said to have less moisture compared to normal air.
So longetivity of Alloys is ensured.

i have tube tyre in my safari so no problem with alloy for me :P But even i never check my tyre too while going in long trip . But will keep this in mind

Mission Accomplished.
Thanks, mukeshus. I am back home yesterday at 1:24 am. I fill up my Linea's tubeless tyres with air only. No issues. At Jodhpur, I encountered a puncture, which was repaired within half-hour costing Rs 50. Of couse, I carried 1 l of spare Selenia K engine oil, one bottle of coolant and windshield cleaner fluid. Of these, I used most of the engine oil, all of the windshield cleaner fluid, but didn't touch the coolant as the level was still the same after 6148 km!![[thumbsup]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Thumbs%20Up.png "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")

Mission Accomplished - a flash-back!
At last, my 18-day, 6148 km-long mega trip spanning across 7 states of India was completed successfully and safely.
We left Ginger Wakad, Pune, on 4 Dec 2010 [Saturday] at 12:05 pm [afternoon], had late lunch at Sai Food Court [40 minutes], just before Kolhapur, refuelled at BP COCO retail outlet, Vadgaon, had dinner at Kamat Upachar [40 minutes] and refuelled again at Reliance [I was told that now Reliance fuel price is at par with other PSU OMC's as they too are getting fuel subsidy from GoI], Chabbi, just after Hubli, refuelled for the last time at BP COCO retail outlet at Sira and reached home, sweet home, on 5 Dec 2010 [Sunday] at 1:24 am [night] after about 13.5 hours of journey including breaks. Thank god, no bottom-scraping in this entire journey of 863.7 km.
Sai Food Court offered delicious food with clean toilets and plenty of private parking space.
This photograph was clicked a few minutes after our arrival:
This was the distance from Ginger Wakad, Pune to our home:
My Fair Linea returned a FE of 13.1 kmpl for Pune-Bangalore trip:
I steadily maintained 100 - 130 kmph speed resulting in an average speed of 73 kmph:
The FE recorded for this mega trip of 6148 km was 12.4 kmpl including highway+city driving:
The flash-back will continue.
