Whats the ideal tire PSI for our cars?
That is the best in terms of comfort and mpg? Anyone experimented around? I have mine at 35 with that nitrous air right now and it feels way to tight and stiff of a ride..

It's going to depend a fair bit on tires and your local roads.
With A/S Touring tires and good local roads (no harsh winters here), 36 is the sweet spot on ours for ride/handling/mileage.

Yeah, it's just a personal thing and what you value. And how the tire behaves. 32 would be on the "comfort" end of the ride/mpg/handling matrix for my tires and usage. Comfort's a lot less important to me than handling and mpg so I pretty much disregard it. So much so that just yesterday, I ordered some KYB to replace the perfectly good but too-soft shocks in my SUV.

Are all talking about cold tire pressure or when tires are hot?
My costco tire centre does +4 when the tires are warm and so 32 cold and 36 hot (recommended).
If you are doing 36 cold, that is 40 when hot and so might be little high.
