Default Tire Temp Question

So I have a question about my tire temp.

So I’ve been driving twisties and my tire pressure starts at 29/30 psi, after warm up they hit 33 except my front left hits 36.

This is the first time I’m noticed it but it’s weird. I had a flat on the front left at the beginning of the summer I got fixed and all I can think is that I have nitrogen in 3 of the tires and the one that had a flat just has air?

I thought maybe turning right more than left, but I usually go up to the top of a ski mountain and back.

if they purged the tire fully with nitrogen its maybe possible its expanding at a different rate, but usually lower as it won't have as much moisture in it from the air... but not sure you'd see that much difference. On the track we'd adjust so they are the same. On street, possible just braking, some other heat in that corner, or the road causing it to be higher. Set them cold and don't worry about it.

It's the air in the fixed tire. Pull it out and fill with nitrogen.
