30 PSI here and don't trust the DIC unless you've verified.

1. The tire pressure is listed on the sticker on the driver's door. It's available for viewing every time you get in and out of the car. That would be twice a trip at least -- more often on longer excursions where you need to stop for gas and such.
Hell, you can even look at it while you're driving, in case you forget, by opening the door and leaning out a bit. That way, it's practically available all the time, unless you need to close the door when passing (or being passed).
2. If you can't be bothered to read it off the door, you can find it in the owner's manual, which is the manual that the owner should have gotten with the car. It's usually available to all drivers by looking in the glove compartment, where most owner's keep it, as recommended by the manufacturer.
This isn't just a GM thing, most car manufacturers include this book with the purchase of the car, and virtually all of those books list the tire pressure.
3. This question gets posted on this and other forums all the time, I'd say about once a week, which means that since I joined here in May of 2002, I've seen this question only about 250 times. Which probably means that other people see it as well. A search (little button up at the top right) will bring this up.
So, if items 1., 2., and 3. don't work, then I would suggest posting the question. But I bet just between 1 and 2, the answer's already out there.
Now, on the other hand, if the post was purely to get the post count up, well, that I can understand.
Cheerio!

I will post a serious response...... 
I found that with my EMT's that I had completely even tred wear except it was a little heavy in the center of the rears. I ran at 30 psi cold....cause I read it on the door and the owners manual
I have noticed that my Khumo Mx non run flats also seem to be thinnig in the middle so I have droped the rear to 28 cold. now with any amount of driving they get up to 32 pretty fast.
Theres my input

When Tony's Corvettes in Gaithersburg, Maryland did my alignment and other work, they put my tire pressures (Goodyear Supercar F1s) to 35lbs cold. I called them upon leaving the shop and was told by Tony that the alignment they gave would give me better performance at 35lbs. So I have left it there for over a year now.
