About the tire pressure. Both the reccommended and maximum pressure for my tires seems to be 35 psi. How much higher can I safely go?

Also, these tires were filled with Nitrogen at the dealer, they tell me that the tires lifespan (not the tread but sidewall I guess) is 20% longer with Nitrogen, that there is a 5% improvement in rolling efficiency and that the tires will stay inflated longer. Seeing as air is 78% Nitrogen already, I don't know how true any of this is. But is Nitrogen in the tires a common mod for people? If so, how might I go about topping off my tire pressure a little higher (assuming it is safe to do so)? Will the dealer do it or do I need to find my own?

Should this be its own topic in one of the forums?
