My tires (MTB) are rated between 35 to 80 psi, under normal dry dirt conditions what should I keep the pressure at?

your weight also affects the amount of pressure you need to run.

 

[i like downhill]

lower pressure more traction, but better chances of pinch flatting. higher pressure, faster rolling, less traction, less chances of pinch flats. too low, you might find some handling issues around corners and such. trial and error! its all preference.

Depending on your weight and the tire size, the pressure would probably be toward the low end of that range.

40 psi is a good place to start but it really does vary by tire/rider.

 

[spec4life]

it really depends on the conditions where you ride..i prefer a higher pressure because it decreases flats, gives less rolling resistance and other things mentioned before...traction is the only real reason i can think of for riding low pressure...but im sure theres others

but for most riding conditions i would keep it at a higher pressure in less you ride in an area that requires that extra traction

Too many variables. Try for yourself, and use what works.
