I thought I read something about NOT rotating your tires...something with balancing and wear ride handling......Look at it this way,,your going to buy 4 new ones when you need them. I always tried to rotate them to even the tread wear and well it never really worked ,,besides flats are always messing things up cause you'll always be looking to put that one bad tires on the backside some where. I just ride on them till i think I need some rubber and buy 4 more.

GM says every second oil change...that'd be every 6k miles.

Generally accepted rule for F-bodies is 30 psi, but that varies from tire to tire. Depending on what brand tire you buy, you can call the manufacturer, tell them what car you have, and they will suggest a proper air pressure to you.
