Optimum Tyre Pressure

Hi there, I am new to the forum.

I have been cycling two months now and thouroughly enjoy it, fitness wise and time wise, get a great adreneline rush. I cycle 11 mile a day, and at 45 years old, i need the exercise to keep me in shape.

If someone could advise me on tyre pressure, I have a Univega Alpina HT510, which i use solely for on the road, My original tyres where 26 inch by 1.95, which i used 40 Psi, now i have changed the tyres to Scwalbe Marathon 26 inch by 1.5, they recommend between 45 to 100 Psi, that is quite a range, As i said, i cycle only on the road, about 5 mile to my work,

Would appreciate any suggestions as to the optimum tyre pressure.

Thanks
