Default Starting Nitto NT01 tire pressures?
Any recommendations?

C7 2015 Z51

Weather looks to be 80-85

I ran the r888s years ago and Ive heard these are of similar construction. The r888s liked a little higher pressure.

I like to run 32 to 33lbs hot. Anything higher they tend to get a little greasy feeling.

I run 33 front/30 rear hot on my NT-01's. The fronts slide around with anything more than that on stock C5Z suspension.

What sizes are you running on your C7 Z51? Autocross or RR

I run 28 psi in my C5Z06 in Texas. Incredible grip (~1.2 to 1.3 Gs in the corners, but I am also running a lot of negative camber and poly bushings). Those are cold temps, mid 30s hot
