From Maxxis regarding inflation pressure. According to them, running at less than 80psi does not hurt them. I will however be running them at 80, I called and determined that my wheels were capable of 80psi.
Your inflation pressure should be determined by your maximum loaded weight. If you know what that is you can check here to determine the proper inflation:

Inflating a tire to less than it's maximum will not effect the tire's durability or performance.
Thanks for you inquiry and recent purchase of Maxxis Tires.

I was around years ago when Goodyear and Carlisle both didn't give a max sidewall pressure recommendation. Both have since learned from their customers experiences what worked best and what should have worked. Both now recommend max pressures.
IMO Maxxis will in time learn also.
