What are you measuring pressure with? I have heard that pump-mounted gauges can be unreliable but that is what I use and my tires feel plenty stiff at 75 psi
I'm measuring the pressure with a pump-mounted gauge. I kept my 7.2 FX 700 x 35's at 80 and they were fine. These 700 x 35's at 75 feel flat when I turn a sharp corner. It even sounds like I'm turning a corner on a flat! I'm hoping it's just that they are really cheap tires. After I get the money for an overhaul, I'm going to save for some good tires and hopefully this won't be an issue.
