How could it? It's still a gas, one very similar to the air everyone else runs. It's going to expand and contract at about the same rate...
Nitrogen is dry, that's why. It's not the gas expanding and contracting, it's the moisture in the air that does it.

What percentage of nitrogen do they put in the tires? It's not much higher than in air. It's far from 100% and probably closer to 90%. If you're fine waiting your money on 10% more nitrogen, I've got no qualms either.

Wait, so you're saying that the condensate (liquid) is what is expanding and contracting, not the gas? I'm certainly nowhere near an expert, but that sounds totally wrong. Gasses should expand and contract 100 times more than a liquid, right?
