Depends on rider weight and tyre size. 700x23c tyres I run at 105-110psi. 700x25c I run at 115-120psi

Why do you have wider tyres at higher pressure?

Certainly not!
. Someone had to play rugby in the front row, and row at stroke or 6 in eights, and you don't do that if you are 60kg. It takes all shapes and sizes, and I was at around 95kg when at my fittest a few years ago, rowing 4 times a week, running half-marathon iron-man type events, cycling 150m a week, etc, before spinal surgery made me slow down a bit. We can't all look like Chris Froome!So my Gatorskins may be pumped up a bit more than Froome's!! Good tyres IMO. Keeps the Cheshire hawthorns at bay........(most of the time)
