For general driving 35psi is a good compromise, drop to 32-33psi for a little softer ride, drop rear pressure to around 31-32psi for better hookup.

32-35 cold, which goes for all corvette tires.

After closely measuring the wear on my Michelin Pilot-AS sneakers for over a year I settled on Front = 30psi, Rear = 28psi. Any more pressure was wearing the centre of the tire quicker.

Go with the tire specs......

Most of us go with 35psi and on the track, 31 psi on the rear for hook-up. The best rule of thumb is what the tire specs call for.

By the book

The owners manual and the door jamb on my 93 coupe calls for 35 PSI all around.

I run 35 in all of my tires, and wife complains about the ride

but I like how it handles.
