Default nitrogen vs air in tires

I have an 04 pilot and am running the michelin ltx m&s tires, great tires. Has anyone switched to nitrogen from air in there tires, and if you have can, you feel the difference?: :

In our atmoshpere, 33 psig for atmosphersic air is the same 33psig for Nitrogen.
( Our atmosphere is +/-78% Nitrogen, +/-21% oxygen and a few inert gasses)
So, no you will not feel any difference in pressure. N is more constant at a given temperature and may make a difference if you are racing and need a constant tire pressure at a variable T or your don't want to check your tire pressure very often.
