It depends on conditions. On soft, muddy trails you might need to go as low as 20 psig. On hard-packed dirt, you might go 50 or 55. It also depends on the tire width. If it's only 1.5" wide, you have to go higher than if the tire is 2.3". Also remember, low pressure equals more grip in the soft stuff, but more flats on the rocky ground. In a nutshell, tire pressure should be adjusted based on conditions.

It should say the appropriate pressure on the side of the tire. My Mountain Trek say 40-65 PSI.

Depends on the type of riding surface. You want harder for packed dirt (45-50lbs) and softer for sand (35lb). Very hard for street (60).
