in the summer the air in the tires will expand with the heat and "decrease" with the cold from the winter.nitrogen is supposed to not fluctuate with that temp so keeping the pressure more consistent

I always use between 35 and 40 in all my cars. Anything higher and I found the tires wear out in the center of the tread. Anything lower and I get worse fuel mileage and wear. I rarely notice much of a fluctuation in Psi in differing weather.

The fluctuation is much noticeable during cold season. You will lose about 3psi or less.

So will higher psi give a softer ride or lower psi give a softer ride cuz mechanics out here in NYC always set it to 32, I feel like thats too low maybe.

32 psi is fine for stock. . . but yes a higher air pressure will make it ride a little harder but in the end it depends how sensitive you are
