Are you serious? That number is WWWAAYYY low for the Z. If you had TPS sensors in the wheels, the TPS alarm would be going off every time you drove the car (it comes on at 26 or lower). 22-24 is about what I ran my tires at at the drag strip.

I'd go with 35 PSI.

ha ha...I didn't see the other post about wheel weight!!! The one above it was talking about pressure (which so many people reference in pounds). Sorry for the mis-speak!
