Oxygen and water vapour in regular air permeate through the tyre casing over time.

 

However, if the tyre is filled with nitrogen, the far larger molecular structure can't get through. Hence pressure is maintained. Nitrogen also expands less with heat, so your cold and hot tyre pressures on cold and hot days will be far more consistent. Nitrogen also prevents the tyre from oxidising (as there's now no oxygen), maintaining the correct tyre compound and hence grip through the life of the tyre (especially important if you are a low mileage user).
