? Dave Boston Tucson AZ USA I run my GB 28's at 85-95 and find they fly right along, I weigh the same as David. At that pressure the ride is almost as spirited but way more comfortable. I did try them at higher pressure but didn't feel I gained much, except highway buzz.

Nice to know you have a choice.
