Nitrogen filled tires?

Okay. Must have been living in a cave the past many years, but what is the deal with nitrogen filled tires?

Sawa guy today. Had blue valve stem sleeves and caps. Asked what the deal with the blue as it didn't match the truck at all. He said he bought the truck factory with nitrogen filled tires. He said it is pretty common. So I checked around. Seems there are a few tire places that will do the nitro for about 20$ a tire.
Question is.. nitro doesn't expand or contract right? Is stable at any temp if I remember from grade school but isn't it very flamable? What happens during a blow out?

And will nitro take all the o2 from inside a closed space?

Just curious is all.. Is it worth the money and has anyone here done it?
