Has anyone applied the pressure recommendations given on Silca’s site: https://silca.cc/pages/sppc-form

From what it tells me, I can safely put in 30 to 33 PSI of pressure in my Schwalbe Marathon GT 365 tires (26"x2") on poor roads. This would be below the min 35 PSI listed on the tire, and about 20 PSI lower than what I’ve ever run them at.

I’m not too terribly worried about punctures, but do worry about pinch flats.

Thoughts?

    I’ve found it to be pretty spot on for road/ gravel tires. Make sure you err on the side of sticking with the manufacturer minimums regardless of the recommendations from silica as theirs are more general and they don’t know exactly which tire/rim combo you’re running.

      Yeah, I think even the tire minimum (35 psi) is too low! LOL I’m just going to ride with whatever my ass and wrists can handle.
