I was actually very pleasantly surprised to find out that on my bike Continental GP5000 32 mm at 60/62 PSI (front/rear) feel significantly more comfortable than Clement X'Plor MSO 36 mm (some strange 30 TPI non-TL version that came with Jamis Renegade) at 40/42 PSI. This is for ~190-200 lb rider + bike weight.
using ritchey cx tires cheap im just fearful of flatting going to low. 35 with 70 run nicer.
