your not very smart...it SAYS to run a 35-55 psi... but really its all preference...see i used to run 25 psi, front and back...but now i run about 40psi..because it does indeed roll faster as well as spin with less resistance...AS WELL AS...if you run a lower psi..its much smoother on the wrists because your tires themselves act as suspension...but like i said its all preference...so no, NOT end of thread

I run my front on 50psi and my rear on 65psi but i think its the way you ride that depends on the psi.

the higher the tyre psi the faster the tyre rolls so there is less rolling resistance and apparently it helps with pumping a jump and traction too
