Can you read the information in those blocks? I should have been more specific, I bought a new decal because I couldn't read the information on mine. Now I need to fill in the blocks.

I quoted from my owners manual.Your numbers may vary from my actual sticker data,which is:

Cold tire pressure= 28 PSI front /32 PSI rear(Max load 2 people ,luggage)
Reduced load= 20 PSI front / 26 rear (2 people)

These were based on original radial tires load range.You must go by tire load range you are running now,and under no circumstances would I ever drop below 28 PSI,period. I never went by GM "reduced load" data.
