Please keep us informed.

My touring bikes, generally unladen run:
57mm wide tires, I run 45 psi in back, 35 in front.
50mm wide tires, 50 or 55 psi rear and 40 front.
35 - 40mm tires, 70 rear and 50 psi front.
etc.

Add a few more PSI if there is a heavy load on them. On really rough pavement, like West Texas chip seal, drop the front pressure more to reduce vibration on hands.
