Thanks..Now I remember It's been 8 years since I set my options when new.

The laws of physics can only be played with so much with technology, and then it's crash time.

See this and ask yourself if you are "feeling lucky today": https://youtu.be/pGjT2rYv1B4 (from Z06 thread---https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-z06-discussion/3882412-z-vs-z-butt-pucker.html)



God Help him if he finds out you can turn off the Traction control and also have a Competition Driving mode.

Also, OP, take heed because "owc6" is right:

"A pound or so between one tire and the others is nothing to worry about, but keep in mind this time of year, temps are falling, so filling up to barely 30# is going to be under inflated tomorrow. You are going to be better served with slightly over-inflated (cold pressure) tires than under."

For approximately every 10 degrees of temperature change, the tire pressure can vary 1 or more pounds.

It's actually kilopascal ... meaning thousands of Pascals. A Pascal is one Newton per square meter and is named after a person (sorta like Hertz), hence the capitalization.

It's the metric unit of pressure. English is psi, or pounds per square inch.

I always go by my hand held psi gauge when airing the tires and usually is spot on with the disc. I have found that being on the lower or upper side of dead center mark on the handheld can be a whole number drop or rise on the disc.

Also remember that when initially moving the car it can take a little bit, few hundred yards or so for the disc to recalibrate. I always go by the number after rolling a few blocks.

Experiment with filling below/above the mark just a hair with how the disc reads, while using the hand held gauge.

I can get mine to match up easily.

We are talking just a shade difference.

Also if the sun has been hitting a tire it will read inflated as compared to one that is out of the direct sun.

I always air my tires up in the garage using a hand pump.

When the disc reads 1 lb under 30 cold I add air.

That's whaaaaat!
Sometimes when I stick a fork in a light socket the lights go out.

windyC6

THE lights go out....or YOUR lights go out ??.....

The two events are not related...go ahead and keep trying that fork....

I have always admired your wisdom...

Step one: using a hand held pressure gage. Fill tires to 30lbs cold.

Step two: disregard any low readings fom your DIC. Although it should be within a pound or two of your gage.

Step three: use your hand held gage and check cold pressures every few weeks.

This is what I do. My DIC is within a 1lb. of my gages.

When you switch to metric (which is the case for me) unfortunately tire pressure is displayed in kPa - 30 psi equates to 207 kPa.
