My current tires only go to 50 PSI I believe, so it will be a nice difference.

Looking at that other thread you posted, some people were talking about their weight. I'm around 280 (though hoping to lose some of that because of riding every day). Should I put a slightly lower PSI because of my weight?

Thanks,
Kevin
I still weigh in over 300# and I run mine (26 x 1.5 )around 80 psi most of the time. its a little smoother at 60 but they seem faster on smooth streets. sometimes I ride home throught the allys and I lower the pressure then,but I dont think I would have too. I have been doing this since I started riding again the first of march,with much sucsess.(no flats
