Tire Pressure
For a ZO6 owners, we all know that the factory specs. 30# of pressure in the tires.
I've been using 30# on all four and the rears are wearing much more in the middle. I don't do burnouts or hard starts in first gear.
For street use, I wonder if others use different pressures and why?
Have a fun weekend,

I use 30 PSI HOT. That means I set mine around 27-28 cold. I have and alway will use 2 more pounds in the fronts that the rears. I get very even tire wear. Seems to work very well for me.
It is a pain in the A%% to maintain that pressure in the fall and the spring but it is worth it! I have see the temps vary 50 degrees from morning to night!
I installed Tire Pressure Sensors on my ZO6 and it was one of the best mods that I have done!! Helps me keep track of the pressures.

For daily driving in mostly warm southern Cali, I run 30 in front and 32 in the rear. HOT. I have put 6000 miles on the tires and that combo seems to give me the best grip and even wear. From the amount of green trees in your pic I assume your not in So Cal. So keep in mind my ext. temp is average 60 degrees.
