Wondering if anyone can help me out with the PSI listed on the drivers door for 2004 ZR2. My sticker is faded.

If you go by the door jamb sticker, you'll get a softer ride, less fuel mileage, and the tires will wear out quicker. For the best fuel mileage and tire longevity, inflate them to 10% less than the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. If it says 44psi, inflate it to 40psi, etc.

I used to run the fronts at 35 and the rears at 33.

As Capn said. But you also have to factor in the pressure before you inflate. Whatever your personal inflation interval if you have a tire that is 10%below the others THAT tire should be given a 10% boost in pressure. That way all tires share closer pressures for the longest time. e.g Mine get 39,39,40,38. When I next check them I get 36,36,34,35
