What's the issue (issues?) with the Giros if you don't mind me asking?
FWIW, the label says they will blow up to 140psi.

DD- don't dispair. I just wore out a set of Giros. One flat and regulated to spare duty, the other went to basically the cord. The tread on the other did start to crack, but upon checking these were on a set of wheels starting in 2003. This set of wheels received about 6k miles of use.
On the Rallys I will say that the 23 mm version is a better tire than the 21 mm, not sure on which one is current mfg.
I bought a case 3 years ago and they are in use as necessary aging mode.
And that is at the base of my comments and I have stated this before, aging tires is necessary. Not fun as it ties up capital but it really helps. I think 6-9 months is a minimum.
