Doesn't it say right on the side of the tire?
no, it only states maximum tire inflation pressure on the sidewall of tires.
I usually run 32-34 psi in my 225/60-15 and 255/60-15 BFG T/A's on the '69 GTX. Most of the time 34 psi at all four corners.
I think the door or glove box (FMVSS DOT) mandatory tire pressure label shows 26-28 psi for the original bias ply tires so there is no way I would go below that or anything higher than 36 psi on radials.

Markings on the side of tires only identify maximum pressure, not the pressure for a particular vehicle. Many are marked as high as 42 psi and not a pressure I would want to use. Still looking for actual recommendations for radial tires.

A12: Thanks for the info. That Plymouth installed bias tires that were usually set at lower pressures, kinda left me up in the air. (pun ? ) I feel pretty comfortable with your 32-34 psi.
I just picked-up this 70 and have a lot to learn. My last Roadrunner experience was with a 68 back in about 1972. A lot has changed and for the better. We now have more stuff available for these cars then when they were new. I registered for Carlisle & plan to collect all the info. I can. Rocket

I run mine at 32.
32 becomes 34-35 after a few miles on a hot highway.
