Default Tire pressure

I am going to be a proud owner of 98 Vette. The car has original tires, Goodyear Run Flats, to give me a little heads up, what pressure do you put in front and rears???

Default Re: Tire pressure (Joseph123)

I purchased a 98 as well last February with the original tires. They have 24000 miles on them and they are getting pretty thin. I am getting ready to buy a new set of Firestones, but in answer to your question, both on my current car and the 2000 coupe I previously owned (I sold it with 22000 miles and still had a good tread amount left) I am running 30 PSI COLD in all four tires and it has worked well for me. I've even had to do some driving in snow (not by choice) and 30 PSI seems to be the best balance.

30 psi seems to be the most common number on the forum.
