This may be a bit off topic by the Captain raises an interesting point and one I have always had trouble with. Picking correct tire pressure.

I guess it would depend on many factors including weight, roads, width of tire, etc.?.? But, aside from trying many different combinations is there a rule of thumb as far as front to rear inflation differences or a general idea based on ones weight.?.

For instance, I weigh about 134lbs right now due to some indulgence on the trip to Stamford:)
