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?

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?

Hi Patrick,
The difference is that I weigh 210 compared to your 155, thus more air

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?

Scott, I just recalled this review of the Cypress (and other tires) in
Bicycle Quarterly.
The link is http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com/images/BQ64TireTest.pdf
 They list the Cypress max inflation as 75 psi.

The Pari-Moto inflation range (as printed on the sidewall) is 55-75
psi.   There is a picture of this on the Riv site in the Pari-Moto
product listing.  I don't know about the Cypres, but the Hetre max is
also 75, and that is where I keep the rear tire with 10-15 psi less in
the front.
