Hi,
FWIW what I did with my 47mm / 1.75" tyres on my folder :
Pumped them both up to 50 psi. The front was harsh, bouncing off
off road bumps and felt skittish with little grip. So it let it down
to the point it coped well with the typical local crap roads I ride.
I then purposely road over road bumps, ridges, drain covers
etc comparing the back to the front and pumped up the rear
so it felt about as harsh through the saddle as the front.
I've probably settled on generally running it somewhat a bit lower,
but always have the above matching pretty near between the tyres,
the rear being always being pumped up harder than the front.
rgds, sreten.
