I use 46 cold and gain about 3 psi when hot. We have low humidity air here.

Glad to see this post, I have been running the 20/26 on my 76 as I thought you were supposed to follow the door label.

I thought by 76, they were putting radials on the Corvette and so these recommended pressures were for a radial???

I think I will try the chaulk or tape method and add some air!

(Maybe I am giving my new Bilstein shocks too much credit for ride comfort!!)
