Do NOT do this, if you add regular atmospheric air to a tire that contains pure nitrogen, the resulting exothermic reaction once the tires heat up can trigger rapid atom-shearing which can set off a chain reaction degranulating the nitrogen atoms which has been shown to combust, destroying your car and any surrounding cars in traffic.
Below is a picture (taken from CNN) of a car which was filled up with regular air when it already had nitrogen in its tires:
