Default Tire air pressure; what to run?

Have new Michies on the new chrome wires. What air pressure should I be running? Have 205/70/15s on the front and 215/70/15s on the rear, both with radial tubes due to the wire wheels. Suggestions please.

I would go 32/32 and adjust up/down a couple pounds according to taste.

Lower = a bit softer ride. Higher = a bit more crispness in steering and cornering.

For long highway trips I wouldn't go lower than 32/32.

FWIW I run 34/34 on my car

Cheers
DD
