at your weight + your bike out back you are looking at about 115psi if you went to a 32c tire but 145psi with a 28c... if you wanted a 23c you're looking at over 200psi...
Don't use that stupid calculator. Anything above around 130 and your back tire will start bouncing unless you're riding track. OP: keep 'em about 115--120psi, you'll be fine.
