GEN2’s at Raptoberfest were running 25 but be aware of corners and try not to power drive it into it otherwise you will take off a bead. Several folks did.

prolly not that significant...but nitrogene doesnt increase or decrease with ambient temps...and keeps moisture out, which help prevent increase or decrease in tire pressure. Might be full of ****, but i do know we use nitrogene to dehydrate refrigeration systems at work, and it was free...so i dont see how it can be any different from your tires. here is the link:

NitroFill Nitrogen Tire Inflation
Nitrogen - being a gas as present in a tire (or atmosphere, for that matter at ~79% of what we breathe) is still subject to gas-law behavior, regardless of marketing gimmicks and claims. It will increase in volume if it gets hot, and decrease in volume if it cools. In a confined space/fixed volume, that translates to a pressure increase and pressure decrease on heating/cooling.
