I ran nitrogen when I first got the car for a while, and have been using air recently. I haven't noticed a big difference between the two. What makes the most difference is direct sunlight versus shade, IMO.

you need to fill the tires every 3 months or so. They'll tend to lose pressure even with a new wheel and new bead. leaking beads, hardened rubber, valve stem seals etc only make the problem worse.
so at 29 you definitely have not filled air for a good while now. Get it back up to 35-37 when cold. Rinse and repeat after a few months.

Do keep in mind that the door sill pressure recommendations are for a fully loaded vehicle...
That said, running the max pressure listed here will likely wear the center out of your REAR tires over the course of 20,000mi if you run around solo and don't have 25 gold bars in the trunk.
As for the front; if your edges are being eatin alive, you might opt to run the max pressure up front.

Implying max load and cold pressure setting.
Like yours, it does not offer a minimum load/psi. Likely confusing for some?
Obviously the tires choosen should exceed the cars maximum load per tire. That said, many read the tires Max PSI which is the wrong information. Well unless the tires max load matches the cars max load. Then the pressure may be correct.

Wording on the 2IS reads xx.x psi w/5 passengers 825lbs.

Seriously, as long as you have stock wheels, just following the sticker on the inside of the door, except for rare cases such as track days.
