Tyre preasure is a bit of a difficult one, everyone likes their tyres different, it depends on what you ride, what tyres/tubes you run, what style you have etc and can take alot of time to find whats right for you. You just have to test different ones, you want something soft enough so that when you rear wheel hop the tyre is bouncy and gives you a bit of spring but hard enough so that when you ride you don't pinch.

What ever feels right i adjust mine all the time, i usually run about 22-25 psi rear 18psi front the reason i run my front tyre lower is so i can squash my front tyre against the obstical and i get a rebound for switches but everyone has there tyres different

cheers guys .

I usually have my front at around 35psi, and my rear at 20-25.
I don't usually use my front wheel for anything interesting, though so I guess that when I get more advanced, I'll reduce the pressure.
Oh, and my rear would be a little lower if it was a 19" rim, not a 20". Damn Onza budgetbikes.

It is a difficuly one indeed... I generally run my tyres with the front around 20 psi and the rear at around 15 :/

I prefer the squashy feel as for me it makes landing more comfortable and controlable.

I'd just advise you to have a play around and see what floats your boat really

I normally run 35psi front and 30psi rear on a 24 trial, the tyres I'm running (kenda kinetics) feel sluggish and flat rather than bouncy at lower pressures and I weigh about 81kg so constantly rim at lower pressures.
