I don't blame you. Most cities have pathetic bike lanes that are part of the actual car lane and expect people to risk their lives riding on them. It's ridiculous. Kudos to cities that create...

I switched from 25's to 30's and I love them. I use 80psi and they are perfect. My application is a single speed so probably not comparable to what your application is.
