Didn't know the v6 50th came with all season tires. Nice. Hate the summer run flats that came on mine. Otherwise love the car.

And you can't go wrong with the SS or V6 50th. The 6th gen is an amazing car and the 50th package is awesome.

Until then, I'll just choose to believe what's on the car

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Interesting that some of the TPMS are reading high and others reading low.

I'm planning on keeping it old school and just accepting the low pressure emails if and when I get them. At least I'll know when something's up. Just glad I'm not the only one with "off" readings.

The 2LT 50's also have smaller tires 245 vs the SS 275's. It's puzzling to me why GM decided to spend the extra cost on creating 2 sets of rims but there must be a reason.

The wheels should be the same. The SS has a staggered fit with the front tires being smaller than the back tires, but the wheels themselves should be the same size.

There is still a discrepancy with what OnStar reports and what you have in the tires... I used a precision digital tire pressure gauge and set exactly at 35psi and the application on the phone reports 33-34 psi. At one point OnStar reported my tires at 32 and when I physically rechecked it was spot on!

TPMS: LF tire equals 35psi and the remaining three indicate 34psi. So net-net within 1psi.

Gotcha. Thanks.

So OnStar reads different. Wonder how much altitude and temp affect this. We could make this rather detailed lol.

I'm going to go with +/- 2 psi tpms tolerance and go from there.

I'm assuming air since I don't have green caps.
