A Tufo S3 Lite 215 at 130-150 psi? This calls for an all-hands alert. Major intervention required here. I'm amazed you still like to ride a bike. Next time at least get the Tufo S3 Pro and pump it to about 100-115 depending on your weight. It's almost as durable but it's supple and actually a bit cheaper. Or if you really want to know ecstasy, get a pair of Veloflexes. You should be commended for riding on such a brick of a tire and then for doing so at such a high pressure.
