I just purchased a bike and I don't know to much about them. Are they pretty much like cars, where the tire pressure should read a certain amount? If it helps the bike is a15 speed with 26 inch tires, no shocks. I weigh about 225 pound. Thank you.

Just go to any bike shop and they will tell you. It depends on the bike, and the specifics of the tires-more info then what you provided here. And be careful. I once put air in my tire and it exploded as soon as I got on the bike.

26" and 15 speed. Sounds like a highbred or a mountain bike. The max tyre pressure should be on the side of the tyre but:
If a mountain bike tyre 45 psi is the optimum pressure for road/XC.
If Road tyres - 90 psi.
Luck

Look on the side of the tire man. If it doesn't list the max air pressure, buy some cheap new tires.

Answer 1 and 3 my man are correct. Just like car tires as you said.

if you want the tires to be kinda cushiony put 20 - 25 psi if you want it to be hard put 35 - 40 psi but it just says the recommended psi on the tire anyway
