High altitude aircraft use nitrogen in tires as it is dry, deviod of moisture. The last thing you want is ice forming in the bottom part of the tire at high altitude as this will throw off the balance when landing. Althoigh the vibrations caused from this may be nominal, over a period of time the damage could be significant.

No reason to use nitorgen on your regular road vehicles. Perhaps if you live in the arctic though.
