what is the REAL recommended PSI for this bike since people say the tires blow out at 100 psi?

Damn I keep mine at 65-70 and Im 210 pounds on a 58cm frame with 700 x 25 stock wheels and tubeEDIT: Today after riding on 60psi for a few days, I increased the PSI to around 80psi. So far, no blowouts. The tires began to feel slow at 60psi once broken in. Now at 80psi, they feel OK.EDIT: 03/12/2014 Now I ride 90 PSI with no problems...

I have generally kept mine at around 95 psi without issue. That's with the stock tires and tubes.

I've been riding mine for about a month with the tires at about 90-95psi with no problems. I saw the comments about blow outs and kept it a little lower for safety's sake.

For me, 25th provides a better ride. I also inflate them to a lower psi than what is recommended. I run the rear tire at 90 psi and the front at 90psi. I think that set up provides me a better ride especially on roads that have been chip sealed. Mike

I'm not sure of min or max pressure, or even if my infltator pressure gauge is accurate, but I inflate to 35psi and it's about rock hard. I'm pretty sure most bike tires have enough variance to allow for the environment they will be traveling. It's not rocket science.

50 - 65 I have 1000 miles on it its the back tire on my trike, hope that helps

My compressor has two gauges. One is for tank pressure and one is for output pressure. They both need to be above 30 psi. However, I usually set both of mine so they are about 70 psi so I can fill up my bike tires. The higher the output pressure, the faster the tire fills.

I agree with Kristoffer. I have 26x1.95" tires on my bike and they say inflate to 45-60psi, so I tend to go around 55psi.

No at all!, in my experience I use to pump up my tires at maximum recommended (85psi) in Michelin World Tour and I didn´t have problems, Of course I use the Michelin tube "Michelin Airstop" and "Avenir Threaded Presta 48Mm Valve Tube"... The Tuffy Bicycle protection is great for ride for everywhere...

Mine showed I had 110 lbs in my camper tires. When I took it to a tire shop they said there was 120 lbs in them.So at least at higher psi I don't think so.

I just checked my tires. There is not an 'o' in the listing. The size is 26x2.125. These tires require a higher psi inflation to overcome the added resistance that so much heavy tread on the pavement creates. As for durability, I have no doubt. But the tire when inflated in enough larger than the originals I've had to remove the fenders, both front and back. Whether it is the tire for your bike, or not, you'll have to decide.

I'm 220 and no problem, running recommended pressure on the side wall.They should have a higher capacity than skinnier tires as far as weight cap.

Yes they do 20psi full up, a bike pump will do, never had a issue with tires.

I believe the tires are standard 12" tires. Head to the local bike store...not box store...they should be able to help. Must be putting some miles on it to wear out a tire...bike on!!!!!!!

http://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/racing_tires/lugano for complete details. This particular tire is rated at 85-130 PSI.

says 160psi, I use it to fill up my bike tires to 110 psi, no problem. I had an old one that lasted about 6-7 years.

The pressure range marked on the gauge is 0 to 100 psi. I also use a digital tire gauge to verify pressure.

The recommended psi (pounds per square inch) should be on the side of the tire. If not, for a 16" tire you should inflate to between 30 and 40 psi. If no pressure gauge handy, just give it the old feel test. Inflate the tire until you get to the point where you press on the tire with your thumb and the tire barely indents. I hope this helps!

I have used it up to 85 psi on a road bike. That is as far as i have gone!!
