Forget about the listing! The sidewall on the actual tire (two of which I own) says otherwise.

The Specialized Nimbus is rated at 80, the Nimbus EX is 100. EX is thinner, lighter, with softer sidewalls.

sheldon brown mentions on his website that you can exceed the rated pressures with no ill effects, and that the 'actual' blow off pressure is about twice the rated pressure ... read it for yourself and make your own mind up!!!

Thanks for all responses. I have decided to go with the Continental SportContact 26x1.3. I have had Continental tires on my cars before, and I really appreciated the solidness and quality. I think I can try their bicycle tires and if it's half as decent as Conti's car tires, I'll be satisfied.
