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.

Since this is a thread on PSI....
What's the difference between lower/higher PSI? What are the advantages/disadvantages?

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 ?
34 front -225/35/20
36 rear -225/35/20

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.

dont pump too much with ur regular tires.
it balloons and makes the middle of the tire wear faster than outsides
