Just received some 25mm Vee Rubber road tires and it says 7bar 100psi
max on the side. That's a bit low for my taste.

The Zafiro I have on there now says 100psi min and 130psi max which is
more up my alley.

By how much can a low max rating be exceeded? I like 100-115psi on my
road bike in back. On the front I won't exceed the max because a
blow-out would be nasty and that carries less weight anyhow.


Are these both the same size tire? 100 psi sounds right for 25mm tires.
100 - 130 psi sounds like 23mm.


They are both 25mm steel bead. Both are made in Thailand, the Zafiro at
Lion Tyres and the other at Vee Rubber.

They have a similar feel to them when grabbing the unmounted tire except
that the lower pressure rated Vee Rubber has a slight tread pattern to
it while the Zafiro is almost a slick. The side walls look and feel
equally sturdy which is where my Conti Gatorskins often failed. Side
walls are the main reason why I am looking for alternatives.
