I can't give you any numbers, but I'd say it will fluctuate depending on how much load you're putting on them. Course, terrain might call for some adjustments as well. I don't think tire pressure is an exact science. Try different ones for different situations, and I'm sure you'll get a feel for what you and your tires like.
