That is valuable to race teams that test and test and for a given set of track conditions know where they want their tire pressures to a Fine tuned level.

For the rest of us, N2 tires are useless and would be a PIA to keep at a target pressure through the seasons without having to schedule a visit to your dealer.
Consumer Report set out to answer that question.

Personally, I am ok with filling my own tires and therefore prefer regular air that I can be in control of and fill up and deflate as the seasons change.
