I run my 25mm Vittorias at 75-80 PSI and my 28s even lower and am perfectly content. I think you’ll be happy with them. I use lightweight butyl tubes and haven’t tried latex in decades because I found them to be far too fragile. Newer ones may be better.

Thank you, James. You've answered a few follow up questions I was going to ask before I had a chance to do so. Is there a particular lightweight tube that you favor?
I'm leaning toward trying some 28mm Veloflex Corsa Evo tires with butyl tubes. I love my tubulars but the ease of getting tires mounted straight and evenly with clinchers is appealing.
Thanks.
