What is the recommended tire pressure for a Chevrolet Corvette C8 E-Ray?

For standard street driving on the C8 platform, the recommended cold tire pressure is 30 psi front and rear ⁸. While the E-Ray runs a wider staggered 20/21-inch wheel setup compared to the base Stingray ⁶, this 30 psi baseline is the standard across the C8 lineup.

You should always verify this against the tire information placard located on the driver's door jamb, which is the definitive source for your exact build ². Make sure you are checking and setting these pressures when the tires are completely cold, ideally after the car has been sitting overnight.

There are two main exceptions to this rule depending on how you're using the car:

• High-Speed Driving: For sustained high-speed operation (140+ mph), the factory manual recommends increasing the cold pressure to 38 psi ¹⁰.
• Track Days: If you're taking the car to a road course, you'll want to drop your cold starting pressures down to around 23-24 psi. This prevents the tires from severely overinflating once they build up track heat. You are generally aiming for a hot target of around 32-34 psi when you come into the pits ¹¹.
