re: What tire and pressure do you run on your road bike?

Gatorskins are great for for preventing punctures, but don't get too concerned with going too much higher with PSI. Unless you are racing a short time trial, the ratio of greater efficiency to quicker wear of the tire shoots up once you cross the 110 PSI threshold. When I used to race, I would train at 100 and boost up to 110-115 on race day.

^^this is the correct answer for most tires. I have vredestein clinchers on my time trial bike that are spec'ed to 140psi - I usually do them at around 130 or so
