    between 60-80psi depending on your weight and the conditions under-foot. psi should be as low as possible if you're riding on ice and snow, otherwise as high as possible, tyres should feel pretty solid.

    Have a look closely at the tyre. It should say somewhere what the max pressure is in bar and/or PSI. It might be hard to spot but its there.

    it also depends on what kind of riding youre gonna be doing. lower pressures give a more comfortable ride but with potholes and bad roads a low pressure front tyre can result in damage to the rim. you'll know if its too low by a loud 'clunk' sound when you hit a pothole! too low and you also risk pinch flats.

    the rear wheel carries more weight so should have a higher pressure.
