Pressure is dependent on weight ...
Bigger riders need to run larger pressures to resist tire deformation. Your tire should deform "just enough" to the ground.
Basically, you need those side knobs to come down and "grab" the trail. Any more is too much. Any less and you are risking pinch flats and tire rollover.
