I run 32 front and rear primarily to keep rolling resistance down as I have a lot of road between trails

I'm 85Kg in kit and run 24-26 front and 28-30 rear. This is for a 29er HT. Higher pressures are used when bikepacking.

It's a closely guarded secret. Even I don't really know.

High 20s rear and low 20s front, I think.

We've had this before. Too many variables for the information to be remotely relevant.

This is one of those threads where someone cheerfully pipes up that - all this shows is how inaccurate everyone's pressure gauges are - guffaw guffaw!

2.25 tyres on old skool narrow rims - 30 frt 40 rear. These are the pressures. They're hard-ish, like MTB tyres should be. Can't stand lower pressures - the tyres seem draggy and the low pressure squirm gives inconsistent trail feedback (to my delicate little paws, anyway).

So many variables but here you go:

Fat bike: 5 or 6 front and 6 rear.
29er HT: 32 F & R
Road bike 1 (clincher): 110
Road bike 2 (tubs): 160

Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 - 30psi front and 30-35psi rear. Both tubeless. I find that any less than 30 and the tyres fold over and squirm when pushed into corners. The GF runs 20psi front and rear.

Do you mean as measured by my track pump or by my topeak digital gauge? They seem to give wildly different values.

Lowest I've ever used is 3psi front and 4psi rear (snow) and highest is 90 front 100 rear (road bike). Usually aim for something around low 20s front and mid to high 20s rear on a "normal" mountain bike (whatever one of those is these days).
