Could well be your gauge! Frank Berto said that they read high as they wear, and start to become less accurate faster than we realize.
That said, I know Jan doesn't use more than 50psi in his, and is content to let them get down to about 30 before re-pumping. One thing about these 38-42mm tires on road (erm, and FG/SS
) bikes is that it's nice to get back to the low-maintenance aspect of the MTBs/cruisers/BMXes many of us started with.
