tire pressure
I drive my Vette only couple days/wk, less during the winter rainy season. What is the optimum tire pressure for this type of driving since most of the time the car sits in the garage? The mfg said 30 psi
My car is non-Z51, 2007, only has 158 miles on it (just picked up on 12/19)

30 psi cold is what you should be using. Tire pressure will vary with temperature. You should plan on approximately 1 pound for every 10 degree change in temperature (up or down) and adjust your tires accordingly.

30 psi. no kidding. and if you do drive it that infrequently, if there's a lot of outside temp change, do ck your tire pressures. they can go up and down based on outside temps.

Accutire (Measurement Specialties, Inc.). I have a couple different ones but the one that works the best I've found is the cheapest Accutire I have, and it just so happens to have "Corvette" logo'd on it. I think it was $20 at corvettec6collection.com.
