Default Air pressure
So I'm wondering what air pressure for radials on my 75 with standard 15 corvette rally's? Thinking 32psi

32 is OK...maybe it will ride a bit 'hard', but not a problem. I run 30 psi.

Try 32 and see how you like it. I doubt that you'll see any difference between 30 and 32. Depends on how you drive but I played around with the pressure and settled on 25. Seemed best to me.

That's what I'm trying to figure out, no way I'd have only 20 psi. Thanks for the input.
