I realise you dont NEED to. I used to ride a 26" jump bike around, and basically needed to carry a pump around with me. Id keep them at 65psi for transport mode, and when getting to a riding spot id drop them to 20 psi or so.
But I cant help thinking, them sort of tyres (and perhaps bike) must be a whole world of SUCK compared to riding a light track bike with light tyres. Its a big jump from the 23c or whatever you were running on your fixed/geared road bikes to 2.5" cruiser tyres! Why not just opt for something normal like 1.5" ?
