As long as the tire isn't folding, pick what you think's best for you.

Just practice and play around with it. There is no textbook answer. Some
run them low, others rather high. After you get more used to the uni,
things like 4psi wont make a difference anyway. Thats not to say that
10psi of fluctuation wont make a difference though.

edit:Just use whatever feels best to YOU, not everyone else.

To compress the tyre for hopping, shove all your weight downwards
through the pedals. Once you've done that, the unicycle will naturally
pop back up. Use this upwards momentum by pulling up on the seat and
tucking with your legs to hop higher.
All that is done in a fraction of a second and you have to time it
right, but with some practice will come fairly easily.

Hope that helps mate.

if you hit the rim it's too low. If not it's fine. No one can say
because it totally depends on your weight and how high you hop, how
tough you are on landings etc...
