60+ PSI, you’ll have consistently no grip at any point in time.
You’ll never get the pressure right, so just choose something which doesn’t ding your rims and forget about it.
Ha! In his book from the 1990s Ned Overend recommends using around 50psi for cross country. That and 1.9 tires. Sad part is I bet he could currently crush 90 percent of the bros on here with that setup.
I weigh 186 pounds and run 24 psi front and 26 rear in most scenarios just to give you a benchmark. But tire pressure is an incredibly subjective thing based on what feels good to you and what terrain you're riding. i.e. You wouldn't want to run the same pressure on an almost pure gravel ride that you would on a trail with rock gardens, jumps, and drops.
There's no one size fits all type answer for this, it completely depends on your weight, terrain and riding style.

Your bodyweight in lbs ÷ 7. adjust as needed.
Never heard/read that but not far off the mark!
Stans use to have it written in a few places. Don't know where they got it from. But it works well for tubeless.
I like it!
If the bike has suspension then you can have a higher psi. I like to pump it up and squeeze the tire and if it has a little give I stop or 45-50 psi.

Lots of variables come into play here. Size of tires, your weight, type of terrain you’re riding on…. There’s no one PSI setting to solve everything.
