Default Z06 Tire pressure ?

What is the factory recomended tire pressure on a Z06 ? I just put oem Z06 wheels & GY eagle f1 supercars on my 98 coupe. Mine is 30 psi with the run craps.

Thanks...........

...and make sure you use GM-approved Z06 air!!! Standard C5 air will not work in Z06 tires, even thought the pressure is the same .

Or, you could just buy a TAB (Tire Air Bypass) kit.

It tricks the car into thinking the correct Z06 air is in the tires, and allows you to use any type of air in the tires...even Ford air.

30 psi cold. It should be on a sticker on the drivers door jamb.
