I agree. I choose my tires based on having had no problems with them. The biggest difference I have noticed is frequency of flats.

Also, many people say they notice a huge difference in ride quality going from 100 psi to 90 psi. I can tell when my tires get down to around 75 or 80 psi if I get a slow leak (usually run 110 front and 120 rear) because it feels bouncy and loose in corners.
