I guess "it depends" to some degree but I run my Continental 23mm trainer tyre at 120 psi on a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine as that seems to be the consensus for that combination. If i'm using my road tyres (25mm) on the Tacx Genius i'll keep it at the normal 85-90 psi and crank the roller down a bit, but I don't tend to do any sprint-type stuff on there so don't need quite the limpet grip (long climbs mostly).
I am running 110psi on my trainer tire.
