OK, Craig..... same question: Do you inflate your cold tires to 30# based on your tire gages or the TPS?
I inflate using my tire gauges. Not to confuse the issue but I also run 2# under (28 using gauges, cold) down here in the summer (May-October). When the tires heat up it gains 2#.

I just run all 4 tires at factory settings 30 PSI all around.
I suspect your Big O factory, cheap, analog gauge is spec'd at +/-1 minor increment, or in this case +/-1 psi ... meaning it could be off by 2 psi and still be in spec.

I only have 1 guage I use and it is an analog one and it is dead on with the DIC, I do have new TPS I bought from Tire Rack a few months ago. If my guage says 32 the DIC also says 32.

I have two digital gauges that read exactly the same. One analog gauge that I'd peg at less than one pound lower than the two digitals.
I set the pressure by the digital gauges, 30 psi cold and check pressure about once every two weeks. I let the TPMS do the ALERT work if they run low.
I had County Corvette Inc. Install four new Michelin's Pilot Sports ps/2 ZP's and a new set of TPMS sensors. I set them at 30 PSI and you need to drive a few miles to allow the sensors to talk to the PCM, but I set the tire pressures with a good quality digital air pressure gauge and the sensors seem to be almost the same on the DIC and the digital gauge that I used to set the air pressure with. A hell of a lot better than the old original set, they were worn out and it was a PITA to get the DIC reading and the hand guage to read the same.
