Tire Inflation
I bought a reproduction owner's manual for my 73 stingray. I noticed that it says to inflate the tires to 20 PSI. That seems low to me, so I wondered what pressure other people inflate their tires. Is there a difference in modern tires that requires a higher pressure? How do you determine what the best inflation pressure is for a certain situation (considering speeds, temperature, etc...)?

From: Arlington Va Current ride 04 vert, previous vettes: 69 vert, 77 resto mod
the ride is better with lower tire pressure....i think back then they actually used tires and tire pressure as part of the suspension system.....so the more pressure the bumpier the ride
