I used 31psi F&R when I did my TT on the run flats in my C6 Z51. I don't know if the Z06 is any better, but 2-3 laps is the most I can get out of the tires before they overheat and I slow down.

Not sure if runflats are any different than regular, but I was under the impression you needed to be at 38-39 lbs when heated, so whatever it takes to start out to get to that. I would like to hear more input on this.

I usually start at 26PSI cold they should be around 30 hot.
