What is your application? Road? Track? Winter? Summer?

For most driving, use the OEM pressures, which should be listed inside your drivers door.

i think my oem pressure recommendation sticker is inside the fuel door on my 02 c2 (if not definitely inside driver door jam).

my 02 is 36f/44r for daily driving. your's is probably the same. all the advice i have been given is stick with that until you get to the track (then ask again and see what happens!)

I run 38 rear and 32-34 fronts. That's just the way I like it... as temps rise like a **** under hard driving, at running temps that works just fine for me.

Experiment in a controlled condition...

I saw the 36/44 sticker also. I personally think that is way too high, you would end up eating up the tread in the middle of the tire. When I hit the track, I run all r compounds about 34-35psi hot, Hoosiers are the only tires that I would run over 40 psi...

Also keep in mind the tire PSI will increase when there is weight in the car. So never fill the car up to the max PSI. Maximum PSI stickers could be found under the hood for different tire sizes

N0 and XL tires can be run lower but if you have something other than that I would recommend getting it close to factory specs.

I run 36/39 on my new Nitto NT05 and they work very nicely
