It is slight. Air is about 70% nitrogen, anyway . Nitrogen won't oxidize the inside of your tires, and, if Dry, won't promote rust or oxidation to the rims like the moisture in air will. This effect is only slight, anyway.
Still, unless you carry a bottle of N2 around, if your tires get low, you will have to use air from a compressor from time to time, anyway, diluting the nitrogen. Even if the compressor has a good filter and moisture trap.
The Outside of your tires will Still be subject to oxidation, acid raid, ultra violet, heat, etc. That is the Business end.
Personally, I consider N2 in the tires snake-oil; OK but of only slight advantage. I wouldn't specifically look a shop with it or pay more for it. If your usual shop offers it free; Fine, use it. I don't believe in "nitrogenated" fuels, either.
