Hey, yeah, lol glad I'm not the only one...

I started with both tires at 35psi. After riding a bit I deflated both tires enough that I could push the tire halfway down with my finger. For the Nokians this might have helped, I'm not sure. For the Schwalbe's I think it actually made things worse, I felt like I might have been getting a little better traction at 35psi than I was at a lower psi.
