I believe that the gas used to inflate tyres is simply compressed air in most cases, but they can also be filled with Nitrogen which is supposed to be less prone to heating up than compressed air when tyres are subjected to harder service eg: long distance, heavy loads, high speed.
Air is 78% Nitrogen. The benefits of 100% Nitrogen, for use on a normal road car, are minimal. All the traces of Oxygen and other trace elements would have to be removed, before adding pure Nitrogen.
A car.
No. A car will get better mileage with the correct tire pressure.
The pressure is equal throughout the tire. It is filled with a gas and unless there are trapped pockets, the pressure will equalize practically instantaneously. The temperature, however, is greatest next to the tread, and again, the whole tire exterior will have the same temperature when the car is in motion (the part in touch with the road will have a variation, higher or lower, when stopped).

No, tires filled with nitrogen gas will not ride harder than those filled with regular air. The main benefit of nitrogen is maintaining tire pressure for longer periods and reducing the risk of corrosion and temperature-related pressure fluctuations. The ride quality will not be affected by the type of gas used to inflate the tires.
The ride and the handling would be poor at best.
so they will not be flat when you try to drive your car again
When your car is being filled with gas.
a engine and if you have gas (and not a flat tire d;=D)
A car with tires filled with different gases would not handle well. Each gas has different properties, resulting in varying tire pressures and handling characteristics. This would make the car unpredictable and unsafe to drive.
gas particles are compressible
It's common name is freon.
