what does everyone have their tire psi set at?
Just wondering what everyone uses as their psi for the tires? I live in NY. Mechanics out herealways set mine at 32. Just wondering what everyone uses and what the oem recommends.

Higher PSI
Pros: Better gas mileage
Cons: Slightly harsher ride
Lower PSI
Pros: Cushier ride
Cons: Worse gas mileage

Now that I got to do (i.e check tire pressure regularly)... Is there a difference with regular air and nitrogen ?

They claim with Nitrogen, you get better performance on the tires and it doesn't lose air as much air as you would with a regular air inflation.
