  • You may even need to inflate below recommendation to get the best range of grip, speed and comfort.

    MTB tyres usually recommend 40psi (ish), but even then, dropping to 20psi make a massive difference in grip allowing the tyres to spread more on the ground, ditto to cyclocross tyres that people often run at 25-35psi, way below the recommendation of those tyres just so it'll work in the mud.

  • whats your analysis of grip on babyshoe pass kind of tread (gravel king too)? I am running 35-40 and they are not grippy. Had a crash (kind of my fault but have been in that corner with that speed on Vittoria G+ without any issues or even Kojaks for that matter) and avoided one narrowly.

  • I first tried these ties with lower pressure (round 60psi) but I didn't like it (London commute only), felt it was dragging / sticky... Then I've been inflating them to round 80/85, max recommendation being 90. All good, rides like I expect my bike to ride, except the near miss yesterday and a little tendency to have the rear skidding a bit when braking abruptly on a non perfectly dry surface... Other than that, I don't consider the bike behave unpredictably, I just wanted to know if people had used these tires with comparable impressions... I'll probably revert to Paselas in all black after these... (I've decided gum walls aren't that good on that bike, aesthetically)
