In the short time I have had my Z06, I am seeing some differences between right and left pressures, both front and rear as the tires warm up.. I am going to fill the tires with Nitrogen to stabilise pressures as we are having some bad weather. My Garage is stable at 18°C but outside it has varied from 0 to 6°C.

I would recommend this, as having done track on slicks with Nitrogen the pressure differences are much less, with less natural leakage too. (The molecule is apparently bigger, but I cannot say I have seen one :-) )

Just a quick thought.
