try the rene herse...it will give you a range, (me at total bike and me weight of 260 and 23 mm tires range is 82 to 67 change it to 28mm and it is 85 to 105....and 25mm I blow up the calculator) but bottom line is you need enough air to support the load https://www.renehersecycles.com/tire...re-calculator/

also to remember one of the original motivations was for large MTB tires running low pressure to avoid pinch flats in tubes
