Yes, I keep them at 120psi. And I do pluck out glass, rocks, and other debris out on a regular basis.
Sadly, the roads that I ride are far from "pristine." There is plenty of debris on the roads that I ride on.
Everything from twigs/branches/palm fronds to broken glass. I do my best to avoid the worst of it, but as I said I don't go to "heroic" efforts to avoid it.
