Default Tire Pressure

What do your door decals say, and what pressure do you find best works for your Bird? My '73 has a pressure sticker based on using biased ply tires. I'd like to find out what the factory recommended for radials, and what you guys find works best for you. I'm running Firestone Indy 500s 255/60 on mine.

the stickers on my 79 ws6 and 81 formula both list 30 psi front and rear.i checked my factory 78 service manual and 79 supplement and they don't list tire pressures.i'm running 32 psi front and rear with uniroyal tiger paws and a set of bilstein shocks on the 79. the bisteins at 299 a set are salty,but the ride and handeling improvements are worth the price.
