Main benefit is elimination of oxygen which causes rust on the rims and degrades rubber. Benefit inside a tire to the rubber is minimal because worst enemy of rubber is UV light (sunshine) combined with oxygen - not much sunshine inside a tire. So main benefit would be reducing rusting of rim. Don't forget air is 78% nitrogen already so some of the other theories of difference in expansion, migration, etc. would provide minimal benefit of nitrogen vs. air.
