Safety first! Always make sure to pump up your tires to within a minimum and a maximum recommended pressure. Normally, that range is visible on the side of the tire.

Turns out, higher pressure is not always the fastest. How hard should your bike tires be? And what is the correct pressure?

There are multiple factors to consider:
  * Tire size: Narrower tires need higher pressures than wide ones.
  * Body and bike weight: Heavier riders need higher pressures than lighter ones.
  * Grip: Tire that is too hard, won't grip - because it will not deform to the road surface, thus less rubber will be in contact with the road.
  * Comfort: Ideally, you want to run a pressure that allows the tire to compress when you sit on the bike.
  * Tubeless setup

What is the right tire pressure?
