What happens when you lose nitrogen and have to fill up your tire?

And, if you add air at a filling station, so that now you have one
tire that's a mixture while the rest are pure nitrogen, does your car
handle differently? Does it void the warrantee on the tire? Will that
tire wear differently than the others? Can you sue if you have an
accident as a result? Will Al Gore come after your? Will space aliens
target your vehicle?:0)
