I think i made a pretty good decision on switching my tires to Goodyear ResponseEdge

Even at 32 psi with nitrogen that seems rather low. I always ran all my cars tires at 35 psi cold. The tire wear was flat across the bottom to over 50,000 miles. On a vacation years ago while driving at 60. I stopped at a roadside park just long enough to check the 35 psi tire pressure in two of the tires. The reading was 39 psi. It was a hot 95 degree day and i'm sure the pavement was much hotter.
Looks to me like with nitrogen your going to be driving on 32 psi tires all the time, maybe 33 when hot. I'm not familiar with nitrogen but I don't think it expands when hot like air does. Nice ride at 32 but i'm thinking it may pull down your gas mileage.
Looks like you made a good choice buying these ResponseEdge tires.
