Default Tire Pressure for a '94 LT1

I recently purchased a '94 LT1 and am trying to determine the correct tire pressure. The label that is supposed to be on the driver's door is missing, so I have no starting reference. The tires are currently filled to 35 psi, all around.

Can anyone tell me what the recommended tire pressures are, and what, if any, changes you have made to those recommendations.

The tires that are on the car are:

Front: Nitto Extreme ZR P255/45ZR17

Rear: Goodyear Eagle P315/35ZR17

Thanks in advance for any help..............

Not for sure but I think on the stock tires it is 30lbs. I think that is what it says on my door which mine is a '95.

Do you really have 225 on the front because that's really skinny.

It's supposed to be 30psi for the stock tires which are 255-45 and 285-40.

Since you have different size tires, the stock tire pressure doesn't mean much.

You also might want to check and see if the speedometer was recalibrated when they changed to 315.

Unless you're at teh track, in which case it's way lower in back and way higher in front!
