Default Tire Pressures

My car was repainted at some point and there is no longer a sticker on the door frame, so I am wondering what the tire pressure is supposed to be. The car is a stock 86 coupe. Thanks

That works well overall; for a compromise between handling & hook try 35/32=front/rear.

Experiment ..... from 30-35 and see what you, and the car likes. My Z-51 corners best at 36+, but it'll jar your teeth loose just cruzin' around at that pressure.
