Further to earlier answers;
When riding offroad, Inflate as follows;
Rear: 45PSI
Front: 35PSI
When riding on-road;
Rear: 60PSI
Front: 45PSI
These inflation pressures allow for maximum traction to the rear and maximum steering response on the front end. When cycling in wet and/or icy conditions, inflate as off-road to allow more tyre/road contact.
Happy cycling ;- )

It depends on your weight and your tire. I think most mountain bike tires go from 30 to 60 or 80 psi. Some might go even less.
If you're riding on muddy conditions, or when you think you will have few traction, you would probably want lower psi; but if you're riding over hardpack or tracks with very good traction you would benefit of going with higher psi to lower the rolling resistance.

It depends a little on what kind of riding you're doing.
First, look on the tire sidewall to see the mfr's recommended inflation range......probably something like 30-60psi or thereabouts.
For most dirt trails, people like to run about 35psi give or take a few. If you're on rocky terrain and riding aggressively you should air them up a little more to help prevent pinch flats and rim damage....40psi is usually fine. For pavement riding, air them up to the maximum recommended pressure.
Experiment a little and see what you like best. A few pounds of air really can make a difference. Also, be sure to check your tires each time you ride (or every few days if you ride frequently) since they naturally lose a little air just sitting still.

check the sidewall of the tire. you go lower from that psi when you go off-road and you go a bit higher from that psi if you plan to stay on asphalt or concrete
