It depends are you riding at 30km/h? When you travel at speed is better to pump a little bit harder

erm, im also quite curious about this.
usually i would just press and see whether hard anot, using bare hands.
i ask around my friends, and they said, for MTB, its best to pump around 40 psi.
you can read it through the pump pressure reading.

If you are scared you over pump buy the air pump with the gauge that shows how much air is inside the tire. Never pump too hard as when you hit a kerb or something your inner tube can burst that's what happened to me. Or if rich buy tubeless lor

Depends on your tire the max PSI it can hold...
But for me is
20-30 PSI for off road
50 PSI for road
Pump at petrol station de, dun need to push the pump and oso got free PSI checking thingie.
