@Donut! - that completely misses the point!
80-90psi is only an appropriate pressure if you've got 25mm tyres on.
105psi+ is an appropriate pressure for 23mm tyres. (80psi in a 23mm is going to be dreadful, I'd never advocate that!)
Correctly inflated, 25mm tyres run at lower pressures than 23mm tyres - this is the puncture protection advantage, among other things.
