It depends on what kind of rider you are. If you ride daily, make sure your tires are properly inflated at all times. This will save on eventual damage to the rims.

Why are bike tires inflated to a higher pressure than car tires?
Becuse that's what it says on the sidewall of the tire... "inflate to...". Bike tires have a higher number there than car tires do. ;-). OK - actually it is a factor of the ratio of the tire's footprint size to the weight supported. Bike tires have a very small area that contacts the surface and therefore require a higher pressure to support the weight.
