This was argued last summer on the Vintage Airstream List. Where the available air source is wet, using dry nitrogen for tire inflation can lead to more predictable tire pressures as the tires heat and cool. That's because of the varying effects of water vapor pressure with temperature as more or less water goes to vapor or liquid.

Its easy for a community race pit air source to pump so much air during a race period to include considerable water. The rest of us do drain our air tanks occasionally to remove the water, hoping to prolong the tank life.
