 Hi Patrick,
 The difference is that I weigh 210 compared to your 155, thus more air
 required to achieve that fun feel  :=)

no doubt - was only providing my weight for a reference point with
these tires.  it's interesting though - according to Berto's tire
pressure chart, I typically over-inflate (unless i'm riding off-road -
then I'm in Berto range).  I haven't checked it, but I bet you're
over-inflating (according to the chart) too - it'd probably have you
around 55-60psi rear?

Agreed. I'm 195 lbs and I go 50 psi on hetres and Pari-Moto's. Fat,
fast, suppleness... isn't that the whole point of 650b?

 also 75, and that is where I keep the rear tire with 10-15 psi less in
 the front.

i weigh 155lbs. and run Hetres anywhere between 40-55psi - anything
more than that and they lose their fun feel.

I keep Pari-Motos anywhere between 50-65.  same with the cypres.  a
little less if lots dirt is involved.

is there any advantage at keeping such wide tires at or near their max
rated psi?
