Yeah, but what tires do you like?!
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving

Why, the answer should be evident, oh crowish one. Ones that bite and claw and gnash the trails!

Well done! Now you've gone and made me hungry! 
Haha!
I had some last night... Burgers, that is. Cheeseburger. Bacon. Tomato. Lettuce & onions. With Potato wedges and steers salt.
BOOYA!

Yeah, that seems to be a common combo.

Hey, I'm new here.
I use my bike almost exclusively on tar roads, I weight 81 KGs and I love the tactile feedback of having my tires hard. I normally go for 300 to 350 PSI, which translates to 20.7 to 24.1 bar. What downsides are there to having my tires that hard?

I pump to 350 PSI, my tires have a maximum of 375 PSI specified. If 14.5 PSI = 1 Bar I'm correct?

My mistake, it's 350 KPa :/ 50.8 PSI or 3.5 Bar
