Tires - Ride Harshness

Number: 84-223

Section: 3D (IV)

Date: Dec., 1984

Subject: RIDE HARSHNESS Z-51 SUSPENSION


Model and Year: 1984 CORVETTE
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


Ride harshness associated with the Z-51 suspension option may be a source of concern to some customers. Ride harshness can be significantly changed by reducing the cold tire inflation pressure from 35 psi to 26 psi. Operation at a tire pressure of 26 psi could result in a slight decrease in fuel economy and a slight increase in tire wear dependent on driving habits.
