Any question answered...

I listened to tester's advice on tyre pressure during the tyre pressure thread months and months ago and while the thread was very dorky and I was slightly embarrassed to be involved in something so dorky (no mean feat when I'm already a dorky programmer type), tester did in fact turn out to be completely correct and the "pump to the max!!!!" advice championed by Balki was wrong.

Although in retrospect that does seem obvious.

I tried lower pressures but have gone back to about 110psi front and back, just feels quicker. I only really notice it when are below 100psi. Might just be Conti's.
