From my experience, if you have a heavy SUV that sits a long time in a garage or outside and not being used often then the nitrogen will not lower the pressure in the tire as quickly as air does. I used nitrogen for years on my 2001 Tahoe that is our trip vehicle and the tire pressure did not drop as quickly from sitting like regular air did. The nitrogen did prevent bald spots too.
When I got new tires at Discount Tire they did not have nitrogen so I am back to air in the tires. Since I use the Tahoe more now and have a good tire gauge I decided it was not worth the cost to go to another tire dealer and have them put nitrogen in.
As everyone else has said it has marginal benefits.
