Bike Tire Pressure Calculator
The Bike Tire Pressure Calculator allows cyclists to find their ideal tire pressure based on terrain and riding conditions for the route ahead for mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and fat bikes.

There are three main tire pressure calculators that I use: Vittoria, Schwalbe, and Silca. They will all give you different results. Take the average. and fine tune to your liking. You may find that one of them hits it on the nose for you. Stick with that one.

These online pressure calculators are valuable tools. But while the OP wades through them, the simplest approach is to read the min and max pressures directly off the tire sidewall and start with a pressure in between.
For example, my commuter's 2.3" hybrid tires call for 35 to 50 psi. I find a good compromise between comfort and rolling resistance at 40 psi.This is largely a matter of taste, so best to experiment.
