Thumbs up Nitrogen

I'll also try running the current P-Metric tires at their max pressure (44psi) when under load to see if that helps with the squirm.
Hi All, Our New Chevy came from the dealer with nitrogen in the tires and the quality of ride is considerably better! Before our trip to Alaska, I drove back to the dealer and asked the salesman a favor! He took it into the shop and had them rebalance and set the pressure to the max on the sidewall with nitrogen! I hardly noticed a difference in the ride and to this day have only noticed a minimal drop in pressure! I am a firm believer in keeping tire pressure in check and at near max pressure! I am considering having nitrogen put in the trailer tires before our trip to Maine this summer!:
