Default proper tire pressure

Will someone please help me!? Some idiot ripped the label off of my '98 Ford Explorer Sport. Now I have no idea what the right tire pressure is. The manual just says to look at the label. So could someone with a similar vehicle tell me what is right?

Iwork at a shop and you should look at the max tire pressure on the sidewall of the tire. If it says max p.s.i. 35 then set them at 32, if it says max p.s.i. 44, set them at 40. these should be the only two tire pressures on your truck. you could set them at 30 p.s.i. if you want a smooth ride but if you want a longer tread life and better gas milage, i would set them at whatever the sidewall says.
