Question on Tire pressure
The sticker on the door sill says to fill up the OEM tires to 32psi ( I have the potenzes)...but on tirerack Max pressure says 44 psi...so what should I fill it to? I've never had to fill my own air ever since i bought the car last year but for some reason, I keep losing air after 3-4 months and have been filling to 32psi only....should i go to 44 psi instead?

If you haven't been losing that much air, just fill it back up to 32 and see what happens. If it's a faster leak you can do more in anticipation of leakage, but you should really get it looked at instead.
You're measuring all pressures cold, before it has been driven (maybe a few blocks is okay), right?

32 psi is the recommended tire pressure by Nissan, 44 psi is the MAXIMUM the tire can be safely filled to. I typically run my potenzas in the 36-38 range and do find that gas mileage goes up slightly with the higher pressure. If you are planning on using the Potenzas in the snow, I don't care what pressure you put in them they are going to suck.

Edit - try to get in the habit of checking them at least on a monthly basis.
