DIY Nitrogen for Tires
Anyone know if the nitrogen used in our Lexus tires can be purchased in container/bottle at a auto supply store for us to fill our tires at home?

Technically, yes, but there is no simple way... It includes going to your local compressed gas facility and paying rental on a nitrogen tank and the fills for it....
Not worth it, not one bit....
Nitrogen filled tires for a fee have to be one of the biggest scams ever... All of the supposed benefits, and not a one comes to fruition... If you have a race car that depends on pinpoint pressures throughout a race, maybe... But that doesn't apply to 99.9 percent of us here...

I also understand nitrogen slows down oxidation around the seal/bead area of alloy aluminum rims
as they get older to prevent air leakage.
I own a Lexus '00 RX300 without using nitrogen, and after 8-9 years, the psi was losing pressure
every week around the tire seal.
