Tire pressure
Hello everyone I recently put new rims and tires on my c5 I went 20-8.5 front and20/10 in rear what is the correct air pressure in tires so the sensors won't say I have to much air in tires I currently have 32 psi all four but the info center says I have to much air in the front and back left wheels

Thats cause 30 is stock and the sensors are wrong, it's common. Basically, run the tires as high as you can until they wear the centers. It varies from tire to tire.
If you want a soft ride, reduce the pressure. Tire wear with proper alignment will tell you if you are abusing the extremes.

on my 2000 the sensors are spot on to my digital gauge,,,which kinda surprised me,,,,call or email your tire maker,,,they will tell you what pressure they recommend for their tires on a C5. 30 p.s.i. cold is just as benchmark,,,,all tires are a little different and handle different weights differently....won't vary much though.
