Well it makes sense, doesn't it. While this tire seems ok for now, I am not at ease thinking about it all the time - will it blow or not. I think I will bin it or sell it to someone lighter who can use it at it's rated pressure. It should be sufficient pressure for someone that is 150 to 180 lbs, to use as a front tire. $15 is not a good reason to risk my head riding this tire.

About Forte tires; I'm from Europe and it is pretty hard to find that brand online here. Otherwise they seems sturdy enough and a nice tire for the price.

imi; tires do have embossed max. rated pressure on the sidewall, it reads 35PSI. It's a shame really, because everything else about this tire seems ok. If you look at the link in my first post, you can find a pdf file with tire models and ratings; it is not a misprint. I think this tire was meant for cruisers and such similar laid back bicycles, where it is not the norm to ride it fast or hard enough for the pressure to matter much.

I cant seem to find a good sturdy tire that will last me more then a few months without sidewall cracking or tire bulging or something similar. Maybe I will try Michelin Country Rock next. I've heard good things about them, and I need a good fast rolling tire with good grip in the wet and dry - for asphalt - and still to have it last at least a year. I average 2500 to 3000 miles a year on this bike, so the tire should be able to do at least that much. Anybody tried those Michelin's?
