And if I leave the house with 100psi. I'm coming back home with 100psi. That's minutes of advantage right there.
Edit: I scrapped a longer post saying that someone was bound to call reinforced tires "garden hose". I'm ready anytime to show them the error of their ways.
The OP suffers frequent flat tires. You don't. Your profile lends no hint about whether you live in goathead country. For someone like the OP, tubeless ,might actually be useful
