anyone familiar with the brand?
i picked up this tire 20" used, as part of a gravity bike project. i got it because it said "premium 120psi" printed on the side, but i just noticed molded into the tire "inflate to 40-65 psi". i was never planning to try to get all the way up to 120psi, but i wanted a good bit more than 65.
which is right? i'm guessing (hoping) maybe they use the same basic carcass for both regular and higher pressure versions of this tire. i only paid a buck for it so i'm not out much, and it looks ok so i guess i can use it on whatever else i can use a regular pressure 20" tire for, but i'm really hoping it's a high pressure tire.
thanks.
