I'm going to go with the 35's. i dont have much of a concern with lower pressures. being 260 pounds, i'm just gonna squish the tire basically flat anyway.... i have 32mm conti gp 4 seasons on my bike now, feels like i'm riding on a cloud at 65 psi. but i usually run it at 90 and then let it get softer...
