Default Tire pressures

I know I don't belong on this forum but can you guys help?
I was running GY F1 SC tires in Zo6 sizes on my coupe.
I ran a 2 psi lower than the runflats because of the larger comtact patch.
Now I have put on some stock Z06 rims and would like to know what the stock Z06 tire pressure is.
Thanks in advance

I asked the soup ****, and he said "No Soup for You" :lolg:


OK I feel bad now. On the door says 30PSI. :_dupe:

Hell, it is just an option - amazing how some within the Z crowd have many of us "regular" vette guys "afraid to dare ask a question about the almighty" ....... bring on a stock Z versus many a modded Vette - don't get me wrong - the Z06 option is awsome - but who keeps their car stock in this day and age, and if they do they shouldn't "brag or make other lesser Vette owners feel bad."

My wish for the future is that we all get along - understand a Vette is great and anyone that has one - no matter what "package" - is welcome to post - anywhere .... :rant:

The same as the coupe and vert. 30 PSI.

I have been running 30 all around cold, but got more wear in the middle on the back tires. I lowered my rears to 28 PSI to see if that helps.

O gees, I'm staying happy with or without you. Old Seinfeld show when he goes to get soup from the Soup ****. Life is good, and I'm sure most enjoy a little humor.

So :U and try some :lolg:

We should all make fun of the people that get an automatic transmission in any sports car - especially a beauty like a Corvette. Thank God the Z06's don't come with an automatic transmission.

I have a friend with a C5 convertible with an automatic transmission. You should see the look on girls faces - their eyes get big when they see his 'vette, they start to fidget when they see it's a convertible, and then total despair and disappointment when they see the automatic transmission. Then they come my way with my MY Z06. I harass him about it on a weekly basis.

Please be sure and make fun of anyone that has an automatic transmission in a Corvette!
