Tire pressure
I recently purchased a set of Yokohama tires tread wear 180 traction A -temperature A. I have always used 35 psi but I read somewhere that in my 94 Vette I should run 30 psi. I want max performance and hook up without wasted tread wear. What psi do you use???? Thanks for any comments. :cheers:

35 psi
Take a look at the sticker on your door jamb, I always get a kick out of reading that.

Re: Tire pressure (TAOS6Speed)
I think most tires say 35 but GM engineers tested the Vette at 3o and say it handles best at 30...so who the heck to believe???...not sure the tire manufacturer or GM Engineers...I'm going with GM at 30... :D
