I'm looking to get a tire capable of carrying a higer PSI for the quad recumbent im building. I've seen tires that hold pressures from 60-110PSI. What considerations to I need when getting a tube for these tires? Is there a special tube for higher pressures? I'm using a 20x1.9X tire currently and going to buy a tire in that same size range. I'm not looking for a knobby like a bmx bike. I've found some with a pretty aggressive tread pattern I like. Any with the tube issue is greatly appreciated.

Any tube will do. Some rims have pressure limits though. Check with the rim maker if you are going way up in pressure.

Someone here said steel rims don't have the bead and alum. rims do, that hold the high pres. tires on. It's a little ridge inside the rim. But a tube's a tube.

Ordered for my bent:
26x1.5 Kenda Kwest 100psi (rear) 20x1.5 Kenda Kwest 100psi (front) and tubes.
