Kenda Kwick Roller Sport tyres 26x1.5" minimum 75psi ???🤔

I've just tried an online tyre pressure calculator which calculates my tyre pressures should be around 50 psi for 26" x 1 .5" tyres. My Kenda tyres say minimum 75psi - max 100 psi 🤔 I'm confused?

You definitely wouldn't pinch flat at higher pressures, but if you put 50 psi in your chance of pinch flats would be almost as low. 50 should be fine unless you're 300+ lbs. 100 would be a max, but less is generally better.

There really is no such thing as minimum pressure. Unless the tire is folding when under the stress of cornering or coming off the rim, lower pressures are not an issue. Those numbers seem quite high for a 38 mm tire.
