I just got the Sem XL 28" (700c?) with the Nanoraptor tire. Does anybody have a recommendation on the pressure, in PSI, that one should use when inflating and riding on this tire?
I put 30 in it because I can’t find my good pump, and it seemed too low for me. In a downhill transitioning into a steep uphill suddenly, when going fast, and in a turn, the tire almost came off. At least, it felt like the tire caved in.

When riding on-road, I run the Nanoraptor at 80 psi. I haven’t done
significant off-road stuff on it yet, but I’d probably cut it down to
35 or 40 psi for that.
