Tire pressure for MPS4S on ZL1 1LE ?

So I just got my MPS4S' installed today.

DEFINITELY grips better in the cold!

I'd love to hear from others (especially ZL1 1LE owners) with these tires, what tire pressure have you found to be best all-around ?

Dealership filled them to 32 cold, and warm they reached 34 psi.
With other cars/tires I've typically aimed for about 29 cold and end up with 31 warm (or with nitrogen-gas, 31/31).

My goal is to achieve max grip, not worried about ride comfort, but all input/experience is valuable and welcome.

Thanks!

I'm running MPS4S and start at 32 cold, 34-35 hot and grip seems great. 29 cold is more of an R comp starting point in my experience, with a car this weight.

Hitting Malibu canyons on these MPS4S for first time tomorrow, I may experiment with 30-31 lbs start

How's the ride quality difference between the stock tires and Michelin's?

32 psi cold sounds optimal for street driving. If you were tracking, you would start lower.

Someone on here posted 38 hot for track is optimal. Can’t find that thread now.

32 cold seems to work best for me.

Honestly, these feel like squishy street tires :(

But given that the R3s take forever to warm up, I'm feeling a lot safer in these.

34 hot is what I aim for when I am tracking on them and that is where I have gotten my best times.

Love these tires on ours too. We have about 300 miles on them so far, Discount Tire set them at/near 32 cold and they seem to hover around 34-36 during street driving.

This is what I shoot for, 35psi while street driving. I have not tracked them. At 35, they seem to be firm enough to communicate road grip but soft enough to absorb some of the road chatter / bumps. I can't find an official recommendation on pressure, so I am just going by feel and what I generally keep other tires at. I could be wrong though, so if anyone else has a recommendation and a source for such, I would like to know.

31-32 cold - 35-37 warm

Daily drive my ZL1 (non 1LE, with MRC)
PS4 are better grip and comfortable (non run flat) than the OEM good year!
Way better with cold temp and rainy days!!!!

I tracked the GY in January: they were good.
First time for me, so I’d say the car was awesome not just the tires...
I will track the PS4 in April, I’m sure they will be better grip...

Door stickers says 32psi cold ;-)

Any more feedback with the PS4 tires? Steering feel the same?

I am considering swapping the 3R tires to PS4's on the stock wheels. The 3R tires will be relegated to track only use.
