Here's just a little online tyre pressure calculator i stumbled upon, take it with a pinch of salt, personal prefference etc, but it gives you an idea of where to start from etc.

Cheers

I don't understand the results... It seems to recommend PSI or something. How much pinch and squeeze is 1 psi? ;)

Looks like I'm spot on but I think there's more to it than the few options it asks for.

Unless you use a calibrated pressure gauge you could be upto 10-12psi out! Mbr mag proved this even with the expensive workshop pumps.
I find you can't go wrong with 30psi. But that's my preference. Some like it hard some like it soft and some are hard to please :lol:

you can, but not if you run tubeless, it reacts with the sealant
