Perhaps the problem is your manner of phrasing the question.
I read your question as: Do you consider XXX as high enough pressure for
smooth road riding?

I should have mentioned that the 30/35 PSI is with a 240lb rider. The Rat Trap
Extralights are mounted on Sun Rhyno Lite rims. That choice of pressures is
based on what had worked for me with a pair of 2.15" Schwalbe Big Bens. When I
tried the same pressures on the RTPs, they just seemed to work
Am I confused or are you confused? My math shows 20 front 28 rear to be *lower

And Keith's remark on rim width reminds me of something very pertinent;
mine measure IIRC about 27 mm inside. Narrower rims of course would require
more pressure, especially with such thin sidewalls as on the RTP and F Fred.

I consider this the best pressure range for sidewall support and cushioning
on combined dirt and pavement; if I rode dirt exclusively, I'd probably
drop the pressure a few psi -- indeed, perhaps 20 f and 23 rear. If I rode
Yeah, Mark - i think you want you let air out, not add it!
I just took mine off my all rounder and went back to the original 1.75 compass

was the rim's fault - not the tire's.

I get what feels like bounce feedback when the pressure is too low. Maybe
what I'm calling bounce is really...squish? I think I know what they mean,
the kind of bounce when the tire is overinflated, but I only pumped them
that high to seat initially. I will try a little ride with 50 psi for the
You would consider 20/28 for relatively smooth road riding high pressure?

Use a track pump and double check with a tire pressure gauge

The tire max written on the tire is 55, on the website product description says
if it’s too bouncy the pressure is too high.

Digital gauge for bike tires -- forget make, but said to be accurate to a
fraction of a lb per sq inch. I weigh 175.
I'm not disagreeing, just wondering why RTPs need such high pressure when
at least one considerably lighter tire needs considerably less,

ahh i was just noting why you may be seeing some higher psi run with RTPs
from other, as 30-40 psi is a bit high for a ~50mm tire.

I doubt that the RTP casings are thinner than those of the F Freds. If
anyone can correct me, I'll stand corrected!

35 rear 30 front on atlas rims converted tubeless with load for EL casing.
Ran a little less on standard - 30 rear 26-28 front.
patrick, compass tires require a bit more psi IME than schwalbe tires due
to the thin sidewall casings.

I run about 19 or 20 psi in the front and 22 or so in the back.

30 to 40 seems high for a 50+ mm tire. I run my 50 mm labeled/51 actual
Furious Freds (tubeless) at about 23-24/26-27 for a mix of pavement, sand
(up to 3"), and roots and small rocks, and that seems firm.
Note that the F Freds are considerably lighter (360 grams consistently, at
least the 3 or 4
30 front, 35 rear, on a mix of pavement and gravel/dirt/roots/rocks.

no more than 40psi. depending on your weight, you'd probably be able to run as
low as 28 or so.

What psi are people running with this tire on street/hardpacked dirt,
tubeless? Thanks.
