I could be wrong, but most people use tubulars to be fast, not to last long. Even when I weighed 120 I pumped my tubulars up to 140 psi for lower rolling resistance. I got as many miles as I needed before the rubber started to age and lose grip, and the ride was smoother at 140 psi than any clincher I ever rode at 110.
