I don't know the answer to why nitrogen is meant to be better than air in shocks, tyres etc (minimising moisture content is the only advantage I have identified).

Only true if people are using compressed atmospheric air. If one were to use dry compressed air (air is cooled to well below 0 degrees so that the water vapour precipitates out), then moisture content becomes irrelevant. At 37 degrees C, the partial pressure of water vapour is around 47mmHg. At -20 degrees, it approaches zero.

The only other possible explanation for not using air is that by using nitrogen alone, one eliminates the highly chemically active oxygen moieties whilst still using a relatively cheap inert(ish) gas (at these temperatures and pressures). The process of making pure nitrogen also eliminates water. Of course, you could use the any of the much less abundant inert gases (helium, argon, neon, krypton) but I would imagine these are much more expensive than nitrogen.
