Default Tire pressure ???

My vette is stored in garage for winter months my tire pressures are low per my TPS and Onstar diagnostic. What should I do put air in tires or wait until I start to drive it again?

Why wait? Keep the proper tire pressure. Why put any extra stress on the sidewall?

Personally I would store with slightly high tire pressure. Maybe 35-38 psi.
Include checking tire pressure on your post storage checklist.

This is the best time of year to put air in tires since the humidity is so low. I like to run slightly higher pressure in the winter and then I can just let air out when it gets warm again. But then again, I drive all year. With modern tires low pressure won't really hurt anything except, since you have OnStar, they will keep bugging you about it thinking you are driving with low pressure.
