Those seem OK to me.Hi Steve, you seem a very knowledgeable chap and you can save me a lot of trial and error on my tyre pressures on my Giant Trance +1 pro. I have now done just under 7000 km on South Island (NZ) dusty/loose gravel hilly sheep tracks country. I am still on the original front tyre which is a Maxxis Minion DHF Tubeless Ready, Exo 27.5 x 2.60. For some reason, they came out fitted with tubes. Front still has a tube, no punctures.
My rear tyre was a different Maxxis. (I wore two out over the 6900 km ridden to date). LBS didn't have the same tyre in stock, so I was forced to go with a Specialized Butcher Grid, 27.5 x 2.6. I had this fitted as tubeless a week ago. ( 20/02/2021)
I have a riding weight of 96 kg which includes a day backpack.
Bearing in mind I don't do jumps or wheelies at 74 years of age, but still ride faster than my wife likes, what do you reckon is a good tyre pressure as a starting point with the new rear tubeless tyre? I was running 23 psi.
What about the Maxxis which I have been running at 19 PSI.
Your advice would be appreciated.
If you don't already have one, buy yourself a digital tyre pressure gauge - like this one:

Try moving your pressures either way by 1-2 psi to see what happens. Once you have pressures that work for you, not them and check before every ride.
