I’ve just bought a set of all carbon road wheels that have a maximum tyre running pressure of 6 bar. How can I find out the running pressures of clincher tyres before I buy as they don’t appear on any suppiers website (only on the tyres themselves)?

The pressures on a sidewall
The pressures on a sidewall are a range.
What specific value are you after? Min, max other ?

Thanks. I’ve tried all that

Thanks. I’ve tried all that but it doesn’t tell me what the running pressures are on various tyres. The pressures are on the sidewalls of tyres but they’re not shown on suppliers websites

Use the Bycycle Rolling
Use the Bycycle Rolling Resistance website find actual width of the tyre you’re interested in making allowance for any difference in your rim width then use this in an online tyre pressure calculator eg Silca. The tyre manufacturer doesn’t know what pressure you need.
