Nope. For the decade I rode 23mm tires weighing 170 pounds at my most ponderous I never started the week with more than 100 psi. I've inflated my 25mm tires to 95 front and 105 psi rear for the five years since breaking my leg and growing to 215 pounds then shrinking to 165. By the end of the week they've lost up to 15 psi. No pinch flats.
