Default Tire pressure

Living in Jacksonville FL, the temperature fluctuates from warm to cold frequently. Does any one know what a good tire pressure would be to handle best this time of year. Also my stickers are not on the inside of the door so I'm not sure of the factory recommended settings. Thanks

Default Re: Tire pressure (ProGo98)

Chevrolet says 30 psi front and rear, cold
Personally, I use 32 front/30 rear, seems to handle just a bit better and give more even wear on the fronts.
For road course, I use 36 front/34 rear (Bragg-Smith school settings).

These pressures are with tires cold, as you can see on the DIC, driving even a couple of miles will increase pressure

Set the pressures based on what the "normal" air temp is in your area for this time of year. If you are checking on a morning that is colder or hotter than normal, the pressure will vary about 1 psi for each 10'F of temp change.

Radio Shack makes a cheap but very good digital tire pressure gauge
