Default 15 year old tires - any life left in 'em?

"Art Harris" wrote
Optimum pressure should be based on tire width, load, and personal
preference (performance vs. comfort), but definitely high enough to
avoid pinch flats at a given weight load. 125 psi sounds too high for
anything but a 700x20. Riders over 200 lbs should probably be on
700x25 at least.

I agree with your tire sizes but it is a whole lot easier to obtain 23's
instead of 25's.


That's true.
And size 37 shoes are often available at reduced price, too.
I'm with Art here.
