That just seems like an awfully high PSI to start flatting, especially with your bike/rider weight. Maybe minimum PSI is more important for studded tires vs. non-studded?
Max recommended PSI is 65, I think. I had it inflated just under 60. The tire is five years old, so it's got some mileage. Maybe PSI has nothing to do with it; maybe it was just the time for it to fail.
I know the PSI is high. I wanted to be rolling more on the centre of the tire when I'm riding mostly on bare pavement, than just off the the side where the studs are.
