I guess you'd have to have followed my thread on this topic in another forum to have the full picture.

Essentially, I bought them expecting a nice, cushiony ride in contrast to my 1.5" slicks. As I inflated them for the first time, I noticed that they felt kind of mushy to the touch, so I kept pumping until I hit 50psi. At that pressure, they didn't ride all that softly, so I was immediately disappointed. Several people commented that I should try running them at a much lower psi, but none of them professed to have any experience with this specific tire, so I set out to find someone who had.

I've seen the charts and I've read the sidewall. After 45 years of cycling, however, I've learned the hard way that, many times, the minimum inflation listed on the tire is a recipe for endless pinch flats, sidewall cracking, etc. So I thought, perhaps, someone could shed some light on what might be new technology allowing tires to be run at lower psi without damage, etc.

Of course, I intend to experiment, too, but what are these forums for if not to seek input from others?
