There is no exact number I can just give you, because its up to your
wheel and your own weight.

The point you are looking for though, is a pressure where when you do a
drop or a forcible prehop/compression, you will not hit the rim. Yet, at
the same time, you want your tire squishy enough for jumping, absorbing
drops, and rolling over terrain.

So, a real high pressure will get rid of you hitting the rim and
folding the tire over, but your tire will be hard and will suck for
jumping really.

Too low and you will damage your rim, spokes, and probably pinch your
tube.

Start at a high pressure, jump around, see if you like it, if not, let
some air out, test it, and repeat until you find YOUR sweet spot.

Goodluck.
