Default What PSI in the tires?

I have a raptor 700r and was wondering what PSI to run in the tires. I am a big guy @ 260 pounds. What would the affects of overinflated or underinflated tires be? I mostly due trail riding. Not into jumps.

high psi gives higher speeds and rougher ride, lower psi gives better bite and a little more cushiony ride. over inflating is more likely for blowout, under inflating more likely for bent rim. i run mine under 10psi usually. i think latly around 6 or so.
