I'm 190 lbs, and run my 700x42 Speed Ride's all the way up at 85 psi on pavement (loaded or unloaded). There aren't any cobblestone roads around here, but when I turn onto gravel I drop the psi to about 50 psi for a decent ride.

If I'm riding something mixed and don't want to mess with airing up / airing down while riding, I just put them at 65 psi, which is fine for everything other than really rough gravel.
