I can never get over the low pressures some of you guys run.

I run 180-185# and run 25mm tires @ 105F and 110R…mainly Veloflex Master/Corsa, Vittoria CX, Schwalbe ZX, or Michelin Pro4.

FWIW...23mm tires at 110/115 and 28mm tires at 95/100 as well.

I pretty much never pinch flat (off of gravel) on road tires and, frankly, riding at lower pressures feels like dragging the bike down the street…IMHO.

Also, these are on both "narrow" and 23mm rims.

I have some initial feedback on the 25's on 23mm internal width rims. The ride quality is better than the 23's at the same pressure. I didn't hit anything so time will tell with the durability. Thanks to everyone for their input.

Tire should not be narrower than outer width of tire.

He means rim. Not narrower than the width of the rim. Aero weenies would disagree with him. That's not why I ran 23's though, it's because I already had them and didn't feel the need to buy 25's until I flatted three weekends in a row.
