At my LBS I was taught that you cant start pumping a tube over 80psi, which is true I cant. You have to depressurize it to ~80psi and pump it back up to 120.
You say that you dont have to top up your 110psi tires for months, but my tubes bleed some air and depressurize down to ~90psi which is too low pressure for me. If you only have to run at 90psi then I am quite jealous of you maybe thats where the tire pressure starts to plateau but I cant do that.
All right ... it just sounded from what you said like you flattened them every night.
How do you know your tires depressurize down to 90 psi overnight? How do you know that 90 psi is too low for you?
When you have flats, do you fix the tube or change it? And when you put the tube into the tire, are you being really careful so that no part of the tube is being pinched? Are you able to identify the cause of your flats?
