I agree with what you guys have been saying, but some air might escape through the valve too, no?
Also, it's not too difficult to attach a moisture trap/filter in-line to an air compressor.

Hence the use of nitrogen. As it was explained too me,nitrogen is less affected by the heat variances. And yes pressure can escape through the valve stem,which is why I have them replaced every 3000 miles at rotation.
