Proper air Pressure
I have a new 07 Z51 verte sitting in my garage (cold about 29f). The pressure reads 27LBS. on all tires. They had 27 in all when I picked it up. Should I add air ti 30lb. or is this correct for cold tires
Thanks Guys

30 lbs cold is the factory recommended tire pressure. That info is on the driver's side door jamb tag. Your tires probably had correct pressure when the car left the factory or the Dealer, but law of physics....as temperature declines, pressure declines. If you get them to 30 lbs now with ambient temp around 30 degrees, once warmer weather arrives, you'll notice that tire pressure increases. Nothing to get **** about....I actually run mine at 32 lbs cold....that gets them to a working pressure of 34-36 lbs once the tires warm up which seems to work fine for me....'06/Z51/MN6.
