Tyres are pretty simple, for max mileage run 'em hard (40-60psi, dependent on the tyre, most BFG's will handle 60, it'll ride like a tank though)
For max grip, run 'em low (down to 28psi on the road)

But there are tradeoffs, so play around with 'em 'till you get what you want. There is no magic number.

Hi, Its abit of a trial and error thing
My tyre guy said 40psi all round for my surf. The fronts have worn beautifully at that, but the rear being lighter is overinflated and wearing in the centre.

I would start at 40psi in the front and 36 - 38psi in the rear, higher if loaded up all the time
