I am running 20's with low profile tires. I haven't checked my tire pressure since I got the new setup, and it's looking kinda low. I really don't know what the pressure should be at. Can someone tell me how much pressure I should have with the set up?

Thanks

There should be a Maximum Cold Tire Pressure printed on the sidewall of each tire. In the absence of any better guidance, you can't go wrong getting close to this number. You might ride firm/harsh, but at least you won't damage the sidewall by running a too low pressure.
