Default Tire pressure 1970 corvette

Can anyone tell me the correct tire pressure for 1970 corvette with newer BF Goodrich radial TA white letter tires 225 / 70 R15
I know older tires usually were in the 24 - 26 PSI range and newer are in the 32 PSI range , but can not find what is recommended for best ride . Car seems to ride rough with 32 PSI , so have been running 26 front 28 rear .

Thanks for any suggestions

I run at 30 psi; less than that seems "spongy" to me. But, anything from 28-35 is within reason.

30 psi all around seems to work the best for me.
