With bike weight, tyre size and fully loaded (You, gear, clothing etc) weight: someone here will soon tell you. Or link you to a suitable accurate tyre pressure site……

There isn't a correct tyre pressure for a given bike.

there is a correct range of presures for the combined weight of bike, rider, and any accessories, and for teh type of riding you do, and the type of tyre you have (tubeless are usually run at lower pressure than tubed tyres, and wider tyre are usually also run at lower pressure than narrower tyres).

So if you can give us your weight, the weight of the bike and the type of riding, somebody will be able to give you the range it should be within.

Hi ,I also googled that but thought way too high, although it may be right.

Doesn't the tyre have the pressure marked on it?
It should be stamped on it somewhere.

If it does it will either be the maximum pressure or the minimum and maximum. They will be a rough guide, but not necessarily right for the O.P.

Or just post the wrong pressure, and any number of people will correct you :-)

As a rough guide, pump it up until it’s ‘solid’ when pinched with your fingers.

Are you an Android user? if so install this app from Google play store (may be available for Apple users too)
I find it useful, but treat it as a guide not gospel.

Rider at 83kg, bike at 12kg

95kg load split 60, rear 40 front (57/38)
20" wheels fitted with 20" x 1.75" tyres (44mm)
Rear 50psi, front 40psi
(My tyres say min 40 max 65)
Be sure to mount your tyres so they're going round the right way - see the arrow on the side wall.
