91 OEM tire pressures

I have a 91 with 14x6(195) and 14x7 (205) tires and the glove box sticker is all rubbed off.
Does anyone know the FACTORY recommended pressures for these tires or have a photo of the glovebox sticker they could post/send me?

I would like to have a valid sticker with numbers on it I can read!

Factory recommended pressures is 32psi Front and 33psi rear.

As I'm sure you're aware, the ideal pressure can vary a bit depending on which tire you're running.

^^ you don't find that much pressure in back causing your tires to crown some? I was running 35psi F/37psi R as an experiment for a track day and forgot to drop the pressures before I drove 600 miles home. I found the tire wasn't hitting evenly all the way across let alone allowing it to roll onto the shoulders properly.

You can use tire pressure to manipulate your understeer/oversteer. Anytime your front tires have more grip than the rears, you'll oversteer. So I don't recommend 38psi in the rear with 32psi up front.

Because of the rear weight on the tires, you can run up to about 36-38psi, which is needed during long high speed driving, while 35-37psi is needed up front for high speeds.

35psi front/34psi rear will give you just a hint of understeer, and I usually recommend that. If you find your front tires aren't gripping enough, just decrease pressure in 1 psi increments and test each setting to your liking.
