There is no right tyre pressure - to get it exactly right you would need to consider

rim width
rim shape
wheel size
tyre size
tyre tread
tyre wall thickness
tyre wall strength
inner tube thickness
suspension set up + travel
terrain
conditions
rider weight
rider style and preference

as taking all of that into account is a bit of a nightmare, I usually go with the easy guide of pump it up till I can only just squeeze it a bit. lol That technique factors in quite a few of the variables above!

On my hardtail at the mo thats about 33psi
