If you have a nitrogen filled tire that is low you can put in regular compressed air to fill it up, but you will lose some of the benefit of the nitrogen. You should replace the green cap with a black one if you have filled the tire with regular air. 90% of cars on the road are just using regular compressed air, and not having a lot of problems. So I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Is Nitrogen in your tires explosive?

The air that you breathe is 79.8% nitrogen. By using 100% nitrogen you exclude oxygen from inside your tire. Less oxygen, less corrosion of the tire and rim. In short it makes no difference if you have nitogen or air. Its just a marketing scam to charge you an extra $8.00 per tire for something that makes no difference in tire performance.

Do you pump oxygen into a tire?

If you are using a regular pump that draws its air from the surrounding atmosphere, then yes you will be pumping oxygen(as well as a mix of other gases) into the tire. Oxygen is corrosive and flammable, and pumping pure O2 into your tires is a terrible idea. Plain air is about 75% nitrogen, which is fairly inert, and this is the preferred gas for pumping tires, as it is also the cheapest.
