Default Nitto 555G2 PSI Help

2018 Stingray, 23,000 miles. Installed Nitto 555 G2 Tires on OEM rims. Two questions: 1- If any other Nitto 555 G2 owners could share their tire PSI they are running I am curious. The Nitto tech-line said to run 24 PSI-front and 30 PSI-rear, based on their calculation of weight, etc. etc. That seems very low front PSI. I decided to test 30 PSI front & rear and seems to handle better than the 35 PSI front & rear I was running/testing. 2- Also another strange issue is I am hearing a whine from the fronts when I hit 85 MPH & above on different highways. Wasn’t getting this with the OEM run flats and i am assuming it's the directional tread? Use the car as a daily summer driver and road trips. I currently have about 400 miles on the tires. Thanks!

Old post, but oh well will try. I'm thinking on installing a set of Nitto 555 G2 on my 2016 Z51 Stingray on the OEM 19/20 wheels. Wondering if you'd share how the tires have been for you? Thanks.

I ran the G2 on my 16 SS Camaro. Loved the tires and I ran 30 all around. Handled and road very well.

Decided and installed a new set of the Nitto N555 G2's.
I also went bigger and they look great! Getting a full wheel alignment done before I really try them out.
