so are you saying that it makes no sense to run 2.0 big apples at max pressure period? (regardless of rim size)

Are you saying that 2.0 big apples are meant to be run at lower pressures like 30psi?

I don't think I would want to run them that low just because I wouldn't want that much more of a plush ride. My 2.0 apples feel great at max pressure so far(60-70 psi), and I still feel like they soak up bumps more than my other bike's continental contacts at 1.75. Plus they feel surprising fast and nimble at the same time.

When I run the apples at max pressure, are you saying it would be the same as running skinnier tires at max pressure?

Maybe I'll have to test that out myself someday in the near future.
