For those scared of putting a HP tank on a tire, without a regular, stop worrying. The only way someone is going to blow up a tire like this is to be absolutely stupid.
Personally I charge accumulators with nitrogen all the time. The nitrogen is in the tank at 2000 psi, give or take depending on how much I have used. I routinely charge to pressures anywhere from 30 to 850 psi with no issues whatsoever. I've got a guage on my setup since it's a special type fill valve, you have to have everything attached tight, and sealed, to put the charge. Even so, I just go a little at a time until the correct pressure is reached. If I overshot a little, I just let a little out until the pressure is correct.
To fill a tire, all you'd have do is put in a little pressure, and then check the tire. If there's too much, hit the Schrader valve and let a little bit out. Remember it's the volume of gas that gives you the pressure. In other words, using round numbers, a tire with 50 cuft of air will read 10 psi, while one with 100 cuft in it will read 20 psi. If you only put in 50 cu ft you'll only get 10 psi.
Like I said, that's just using round numbers as an example, but the fact holds true regardless of the gas used.
In the end, again, unless you hook up a chuck, and turn the valve on and leave it, there's no real chance of blowing up the tire as some are afraid might happen.
