Got Nitrogen....Tire pressure ???s

I run Perrelli P-Zero's. The front is a 225 and rear 255...18s on my C32.

I just got Nitrogen from CostCo....they did their computer thing and said 40lbs in the rear and 29 in the front The front sounds way too low. I used to run 35 front and 37 rear with air.

What do you guys think???

depends on the weather
I have started to relpy to this thread several times only to be interupted .... so, hopefully I will get through this time ...

#1.) I do not endorse the claims, made by some, about the benefits of nitrogen filling tires although, I do run 78% nitrogen in my tires since that's what's in normal air

#2.) nobody has been able to prove the claims made when comparing a, properly maintained, air filled tire to a, nitrogen filled, tire. If the claims were real why don't they run nitorgen filled tires in the IRL races like the Indy 500

#3.) and I have no idea why they think you need a higher pressure than normal and it doesn't make any sense to me ...

I would be running 34 front and 32 rear
