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.

No. A car will get better mileage with the correct tire pressure.


Where is pressure the greatest in a tire when it is on the car?

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).
