For city/highway driving what is the recommended air pressure for stock tires on an 01 firebird? I know the max psi is 44 - I've been keeping it around 38psi per a recommendation from a friend. I just want to make sure this is not too underinflated, and see what everyone else is running. As always I want the best performance without jeopardizing safety and tire wear.

Somewhere between 32-35 up front and 30-32 in the rear is all you need. 30 all the way around isn't bad but you can pickup a few mpg going to 34 up front I've found, however the ride does harshen. 38 cold is too high unless your AutoXing.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

On my stock tires. 35 was the best. You can get technical and go 34 or 32 or 37 and different with front and rear, but I ran 35 in all of them after experimenting for a year, and it wore the smoothest.
Also if you look closer at your door sticker, it says for high speed usage, go 35 psi all. I consider my driving style "High Speed" :D .
35 all the way around man, can't go wrong with that. Simple.1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH

I put 30 PSI, Cold on my 235/55 Goodyears b4. I had them on 32 but it wears out the center treads more than the outer, so I would put 30 PSI, just like the MANUFACTURERS recommended pressure. 35 PSI is more for a long highway trip.
Now I have 245/50s Dunlops, BADAZZ looking treads and sidewalls, and put 32 PSI cause that's what the Z28 uses.
