FWIW I was in this camp as well, hating my previous experience on 25mm gatorskins. I'm a 185lb rider, and had been running at 90-95psi. After educating myself on proper tire pressures I went back to the Gators and run them at 80psi.

The ride is smoother and a little faster, I attribute the smidge of extra speed to being more comfortable the whole ride. I don't mind gatorskins at all anymore at 80psi, but anything above and yeah - frozen garden hose!
