Rear tires or full set?
So I noticed the warning bars showing on my rear tires (275/30ZR19), 2008 550i with M package, which currently have Continental's on both front and rear. The front tires look to have a good bit of tread left before I get to the warning bars.
Would it be wise to replace all 4 tires at the same time or just go with the rears for now?
Thanks!

There was also a cost factor for me. Just my $0.02

Nitrogen vs "air"
For most drivers the only difference they'll feel is their wallets getting lighter by about $25! Nitrogen is used for certain tire applications where there is a wide variation in temperatures the tires will encounter [e.g Airplane tires] as it expands and contracts less than air.
Since car tires aren't usually exposed to these temperature variations ["real" race cars excluded] to the extent that inflation pressures would change dramatically this is another case where the marketing guys are hard at work figuring out ways to get into your wallets.
