I finally took my ebike out at the weekend and ended up inflating the rear wheel 45mm Caracal Race to ~45PSI, ~7PSI higher than the Silca advisor suggested. Felt very comfy compared to the ~58PSI typically used on the 40mm Marathon Supreme, might try ~42PSI next time.

All depends on your all up weight. Running my front tyre at 50 psi on 32mm tyres is the perfect blend of rolling and smoothness for me. But my all up ride and bike weight including seat bag and full water bottles is 84kg.

I weigh more than that myself! Then add in the weight of the bike, water bottle etc, plus a rucksack with laptop, lunch and clothes when commuting, must come to somewhere in the region of 110Kg total.
