Hi folks, I've got a softride racing bike with 700x23C Vittoria Zaffiro road tires. I can't find a recommended tire pressure on the sidewalls and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what pressure these tires could take safely? I've been running about 100 psi and I'd like to go higher if possible...thanks Frankp

I'm not familiar with the ratings on that particular tire but based on the tire size and similar tires I've used I wouldn't be worried a bit taking it up to 115 lbs.
