The Green and Orange Quickbeams were made by National (aka
Panasonic). I'm not certain about the silver ones.
When I had to fix a flat on my orange Quickbeam, I noticed it had a

Hope you like 'em, Ray. I'm quite fond of the CdlV tires. BTW, I recall
sidewall listing is the 1/2 way point for the pressure that blows them off
the rim. So if blow off =100psi, then they put inflate to 50psi on the
sidewall. It isn't the optimum pressure based on weight, conditions, etc.

The CdlV is not a 32mm tire. Nominally it's a 38, actual measurement on
