I primarily commute an average of 150 miles a week year round in the Pacific Northwest. On cold winter mornings at 5:00 AM the last thing I want is a flat. At first I was disappointed with the Schwalbe Supremes because I had four flats in the first couple thousand miles. Than, after reading several threads about lower tire pressures I decided to experiment. I stopped pumping them up to 80 psi and started pumping them up to only 50-60 psi. Sometimes I went as low as 40 psi. I haven't had a flat in 4,000+ miles! (knock-on-wood) and ride quality has improved.
I would like to try a livelier tire though. Taking the advice on this thread into consideration, I will probably talk myself into a set of winter and summer tires. And maybe I will do just that :>) Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
