Default nitrogen filled tires

My girl got some tires put on her rims at super autobacs a while back. The thing is that they filled them up with nitrogen air for free and now after a while her tire is going a little flat.

My question is.... Is it ok to add regular air to the tire???? is it bad to mix the nitrogen air and regular air in the tires??? forgive me the noob.

its that gas they put in tires. supposedly they put it in track cars cause its lighter then air. I don't even think their is a big diff.

no your not suppose to mix it. nitrogen doesnt heat up near as much as normal air. even though the air we breath is mostly made up of nitrogen.

it's supposed to not leak out as much as air does, sounds like there is an issue with the tire. I belive some manufacturers and dealerships are going to that because people for some reason do not check their tire pressure.

nothing bad happens if you mix air with nitrogen. it is supposed to be lighter and less rolling resistance, that's all
