Jeff, My tires are rated for a max of 70 psi. Some folks think just because the rating says that then you should inflate to max pressure. That is not the case. Max pressure rating is for certain weights and the lighter the load the less the pressure. 40 PSI works for me but your results may vary. Try 40 PSI and see what happens the adjust accordingly.
