Regardless of what tires you put on, you want 30-32 pounds. Pressure should be checked when the tires are COLD.

The vehicle door plate says 30 psi cold.
I prefer running just a bit lower 28 psi cold all around

I agree with running 28 psi cold. ET, an EX-GM C5 Engineer, says 30 psi hot is the "sweet spot" and 30 psi cold is just the universal (liability) value. So hot pressures rely on the time of year and geographic location.

Default 28 psi cold is the best ride

Hi, I agree, 28 on the oem tires seems to give my 03 the best ride comfort, and tire wear.
Luck to all
