...sorry about the miscommunication on tire vs. wheel...

And thank you for your comments...

I am guilty of high PSI to ensure a smoother pavement roll...can DEFINITELY feel the heavy drag when they are underinflated...and way better when they inflated near the max.

Would love to get a commuter, and could afford a decent one (but wanna say under $1500US)
The issue i have is that I'm a bit tall and heavy...6'2" and 260#

My commute is 99% pavement, with a 100yard section of easy dirt...
I am considering a Canyon Pathlite or Roadlite, but am concerned about my weight being too much for cheaper rims...
