on the wall of the tire, there's the reccomended tire pressure.

just pump accordingly, +/- of yr weight & whatever additional load u hv on the bike. IMO, usually I just pump to recommended even if my bike's loaded, depends on individual preference.

 

well, for cruiser bikes, i gues its either u're really DIY ready-ed or dependant on a phone call away.

 

there's also another way which is, there's a kinda solution to be put into the tire, which would in turn, create a seal between the tire & rim.

it has been proven that it can withstand puntures, but, the mech will surely curse & swear when replacing worn out tires...

There are people who will pump slightly higher, due to some other reasons.

 

but to each his own..

under normal circumstances, shouldn't be higher than the prescribed maximum shown on the tire wall.
