My main commuter, a 2015 Charge Plug 700x35 tires at 85psi.
My more dedicated roadbike, a 1984 NIshiki International 700x28 at 85psi. When I got the bike in 2009, I was running 700x25 at 100psi but it was too flat-prone and uncomfortable for commuting.
My 1997 Nishiki Blazer Utility/"Mountain Bike". 26x1.85 @ 70psi. After trying all sorts of fat, treaded mountain bike tires, hybrid tires and thinner smoother road tires, I settled on 26x1.85 smoothies. In the winter the bike gets 26x1.65 studded snow tires with deep tread and studs. I run them at 60psi for dry pavement, 35psi for ice, and 25psi for thick loose snow.
My 2007 Dahon Boardwalk 20" folding bike has 20x1.75 road tires at 60psi.
My bike trailer with 20x1.75 tires gets pumped up to 50psi.
