Makes no difference if it's a trek or whatever, go read what it says about
max pressure on the tire.

What does the side wall say? With good tires and rims you can exceed
the sidewall rating somewhat.

I use to run 115psi on my road bike.

depending on what it says in de side on the tire

e.g. my off road Racing Ralph from Schwalbe say: inflate between 2,0 and 4,0
atm.
depending on the status of the tracks I will be riding I make a choice:

dunes or beach: 1,8 - 2,0 (front - rear)
loose sand in fores: 3,0 - 3,5
hard rock: 3,0 - 3,5

the race bikes Schwalbe Stelvio's can take air pressures up to 10 atm.
I inflate them with 7.0 - 8.0 on cobble stones and increase to 8.0 - 9.0 for
time trial like events.
