Question 98 ES300 Tire Pressure (Placard is worn)

I have a 98 ES300 and need to know the suggested tire pressures. The placard on the inside of the driver door is worn and I cannot read the information. Could someone please tell me the recommended PSI for all four tires?

Check your owner's manual -- it might be in there.

02 placard and owner's manual say 29 psi. (Bridgestone Potenza 092, 215/60-16s, '98 may be similar)
Actual pressure of tires when delivery was accepted...38psi.

I am finding that I like the ride at 32 psi.

The '98 door tag reads, 26 and 26. The Goodyear tire sidewall pressure is 44#. Tire authorities recommend 35/35 for best performance and wear, and rotate every 5000 mi.
