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.

The tires are Pneumatic. Tire pressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tires, and 25 psi on the front.Bill Keene 954-421-3169

I have used it up to 85 psi on a road bike. That is as far as i have gone!!

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.

This bike is for kids. 120 max. Its also an unsafe piece of junk. Do yourself a favor and spend another $100 and buy from a bike shop or something else.

The recommended psi (pounds per square inch) should be on the side of the tire. If not, for a 16" tire you should inflate to between 30 and 40 psi. If no pressure gauge handy, just give it the old feel test. Inflate the tire until you get to the point where you press on the tire with your thumb and the tire barely indents. I hope this helps!

http://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/racing_tires/lugano for complete details. This particular tire is rated at 85-130 PSI.

I have the 700c tires and they only mention a maximum PSI of 85 lbs (6 bars).

i inflate it to 40 PSI but dont know what is shown on the tire and they are worn out from the tire...sorry

70 psi is normal for that size tube. I have a Cannondale quick cx and that is the psi I ride at.

This is a 10ply tire. Max load is 3415lbs per tire @ 80psi Perhaps you have a 12ply or 100psi rated tire?

I'm 220 and no problem, running recommended pressure on the side wall.They should have a higher capacity than skinnier tires as far as weight cap.

Yes. The weight limit for this bike is 270#. Tire pressure has to be set at 70 PSI for that weight.

Recommended tire pressures, regardless of manufacturer, make, model, etc., are always printed/embossed on the tire itself. Bicycle tires are generally around 32 psi.

The info page takes its data from the manual, which says 250 max PSI. Whether it's capable of doing that, I dunno, as I've only pumped up tires and sports equipment with it. Tires take a while to get to 55 (probably around 5 to 15 minutes from 0-10 PSI), so I can only imagine it would take near forever to get those shocks to 200. If the manual is to be believed, the CH would do what you need.

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!!!

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
