    2000 Z24 Tire Pressures

    The sticker with the recommended tire pressures on the driver's door
    is illegible on the Z24 that my son's bought. I also can't find it in
    the owner's handbook. It has 205/65x16 tires. Does anyone out there
    have this information?

    30 PSI is a typical GM recommended pressure in a passenger car. Don't
    listen to any idiot who tells you to run the pressure listed on the tire, if
    you read the info on the tire, is says "MAX" pressure, not recommended.

    I've never seen a tire list two pressures. In any case, the recommended
    pressure listed on the tire is fairly meaningless, because it doesn't take
    into account the type of vehicle it's being used on.

    Seems to be 30 psi front and rear in all '00 Cavaliers except the
    convertible models, which have 28 in the rear.

    It will be 30 psi. By the way, almost any GM car except for something
    like the Corvette...will specify about 30 lbs for tire pressure. You really
    can't go wrong using that basic pressure.

    Trucks are the ones that are all over the place, definitely makes a
    difference depending on what size truck, and what kind of tires it
    has.

    Thanks Robert. I've written the correct pressures with a big marker
    near the door striker assembly! Sol......

    When I bought a used GM car I had the same question and settled on 30
    front and rear.
    You did get some good advice, but consider that, as was mentioned, the
    tire manufacturer doesn't know what kind of vehicle the tire will be
    used on and tire pressure can really affect the stability and road
    handling of the car. (The race car techs walk around with a tire
    guage in their pocket because proper pressure really does affect
    handling) Never use the pressure on the tire, and don't believe that
    pressure should be reduced if the tire is used in very hot areas.
    The pressure should be checked when the tire is cold, and will not
    increase to failure levels no matter how darned hot the road and
    climate is. I had occasion to visit a plant once where they tested
    tires, and once in a while one would blow off the rim at about 600 lbs
    per inch.
