Got to add my $.02
For all you guys that seem to need more traction, go with 24 psi cold in the rear tires and wait for light to go off. Takes less than a few miles even on a cool day. Stick with 30 psi cold in the fronts.
Now you guys that like to spin tires and complain about no traction should go with 30-34 psi cold in the rear tires.
This applies to any of the factory run-flats

I run an extra lb or two in the front tires to help compensate for the cars 51/49 weight distribution ratio. I also setup my car to be essentially level for optimal track (road course) performance. I'm more concerned with handling and traction around the curves than hooking-up off the line (which is problematic in my car anyway).

We sell over 300 Corvettes per year and we send out every Corvette with 32 psi cold.
