Goodyear GS-C owners, tire pressure for spirited street driving?

I want them to wear well but I'm trying to get less sidewall roll.Right now I'm at 38 fr and 36 rear.They are rated at 44 lbs max .These are SLP take offs from new 4th gens, does any one know what they recomend for tire pressure on new camaros?What are you guys running for pressure on the street?
Thanks,Dave

I would recommend going with the pressure suggested on your door jamb and if you want extra traction drop down to 32 PSI, it is probably safer not to go too low (less than 25 PSI), and going too high may cause funny wear patterns...

To those people that run ridiculously high pressures... where did you learn this? Bad habits bad bad bad...

BTW I run 35 Lbs all around on my Eagle GA's

i odnt have any numbers, but i have a friend with a 5.0 that has GS-Cs, and he ran them with so little air that they almost looked as if they were flat. i mean, not bad, but it was definitely noticeable by looking at them.

and by the way...his car HOOKED.
