I know this has been discussed before but just want any updated advice.
I just had the upper control arms, coil spring seats and strut arm bushings replaced. It does ride better and quieter. Still seems a little rough but then it is old. 71 Mustang Mach.

I have BF Goodrich Radial T/A 225 70 R14 tires. They are from what I can tell are 8 to 9 years old but look very good.

What tire pressure should I have them at. Max is 35 psi. I run it 1 or 3 times a month.

28 to 33 lbs cold.

To get more specific, you'd need to footprint and measure the contact patch. If it were me, I'd start on the lower side and add pressure until the sidewalls felt stiff enough in the turns.

The tires themselves might just be, "noisy"
