    My BF just sent me this:
    Tire Width=20: Pressure(psi) = 0.33 * Rider Weight in lbs + 63.33
    Tire Width=23: Pressure(psi) = 0.33 * Rider Weight in lbs + 53.33
    Tire Width=25: Pressure(psi) = 0.33 * Rider Weight in lbs + 43.33
    Tire Width=28: Pressure(psi) = 0.33 * Rider Weight in lbs + 33.33
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    My tires are 26x1.95 so what size is that? Inches to mm? Bike tire sizing is a new world to me at this point, kind of confusing.

    Does anyone have an inflation chart for larger tires like mine?

    Just inflate them to the max that's printed on the sidewall.

    Fat tires are multi-surface tires.

    I'll leave it to people who actually ride off-road to discuss the subtleties of tire pressure selection. Definitely max pressure for road riding, and generally the softer the surface, the softer the tires.

    Does the rider's weight have any bearing? I am not exactly a lightweight.

    Thanks.
