The permeability of oxygen through butyl rubber is about 11% higher than that of nitrogen. Oxygen is about 20% of the air we breathe. So air filled tires will deflate at about 2% faster rate than nitrogen filled tires. The moisture in air effect on pressure changes with temperature might be significant, but really, the whole thing is a lot of nothing.
