Being inert does not mean that the gas does not obey the gas law. Inert means it won't easily combine with other elements. Nitrogen WILL expand with temperature, almost EXACTLY the same amount that air will, regardless of the hype that the tire stores are putting out. Air is 79% nitrogen.

Nitrogen will reduce the increase in tire pressure with temperature by an amount that is too small to read on most tire pressure gauges.
