what is the REAL recommended PSI for this bike since people say the tires blow out at 100 psi?

Damn I keep mine at 65-70 and Im 210 pounds on a 58cm frame with 700 x 25 stock wheels and tubeEDIT: Today after riding on 60psi for a few days, I increased the PSI to around 80psi. So far, no blowouts. The tires began to feel slow at 60psi once broken in. Now at 80psi, they feel OK.EDIT: 03/12/2014 Now I ride 90 PSI with no problems...

I have generally kept mine at around 95 psi without issue. That's with the stock tires and tubes.

I've been riding mine for about a month with the tires at about 90-95psi with no problems. I saw the comments about blow outs and kept it a little lower for safety's sake.

I believe the tires are standard 12" tires. Head to the local bike store...not box store...they should be able to help. Must be putting some miles on it to wear out a tire...bike on!!!!!!!

For me, 25th provides a better ride. I also inflate them to a lower psi than what is recommended. I run the rear tire at 90 psi and the front at 90psi. I think that set up provides me a better ride especially on roads that have been chip sealed. Mike

My tires are 265/70R17's and the rear tires took less than 3 minutes to go from 60 to 80 PSI. I selected 60 PSI for the rear tires to go off road so the low air pressure alarm on the display doesn't trip as often. Nothing scientific, just an annoyance factor. I'm not a tire guy but it seems that you would have a higher volume of air so I would expect longer fill time.

The previous answers tell you where to find the correct psi. I have filled the tubes to between 85 and 95psi depending on my tires - 700x35 thorn resistant tires. The tubes if not punctured last about 18 mo and commonly, for me, fail at the base of the valve stem.

I think it is 130 psi. I run them at 120. I have over 200 miles on these tires and not one problem. Wear is great and great traction. Would buy again!!!

Only for tires rated at 60psi or less. Many bike tires require more, so a much better choice for cars AND bikes is the Viair model 70P ... same price but goes to 100psi.

My Topeak is for a road bike which uses a presta valve for high PSI (90-110 pounds) pressure. Most kids bikes, mountain bikes, and I imagine stroller tires use Shrader valves (auto tires too) which are for lower pressure. You probably need a Shrader style fitting. I am unaware of adapters that go Presta pump to shrader fitting, but you can check into that. Most adapters go the other way, for pumping a presta tube with a shrader pump.

the PSI rating depends on the tire. Usually for heavy duty high way trucks, the rating is between 95 and 110 PSI.

I just checked my tires. There is not an 'o' in the listing. The size is 26x2.125. These tires require a higher psi inflation to overcome the added resistance that so much heavy tread on the pavement creates. As for durability, I have no doubt. But the tire when inflated in enough larger than the originals I've had to remove the fenders, both front and back. Whether it is the tire for your bike, or not, you'll have to decide.

It took both my son and daughter to carry it in...awkward more than anything...but the bike is solid as a rock! I've ridden it since October and love it. I'm up around 245 and it take my weight easily. I do recommend keeping the air pressure at 60lbs or higher...it not only rides better, but the tires won't wear as fast. WTMI? Sorry :-)

I have 700x25c tires and can get a single tire to 100 psi give or take a few lbs. It definitely inflates the tire well enough to safely finish your ride. You can only really inflate one tire per cartridge.

Yes I can answer! It's the standard 115-120 PSI max for any 700-23 tire. Of course those are always guidelines, probably get away with a bit more or a bit less pressure than that. If you like I can take a photo, but I'm certain it's 120 PSI max.

My thoughts are that some forks are built narrow and wide so the tire can be inflated to both widths. 1.75w or 2.125 w

Yeswith it being a bike w/o any weight issue like a car, I don't think you will have a problem. Are u sure a bicycle needs a 125 psi ?

Nice tire but rated at 80PSI. Better suited for a hybrid. I prefer higher PSI for my commuting bike.

I usually use 28-31 psi for any motorcycle tires. Not to hard, not to soft...gteat grip and they heat up well
