The high pressure limit on the tire may be more than what the rim can take. This is tricky territory of course! But if you try say 60 psi maybe you will be happy with the middle road!

Thanks Jim,

I'll try a lower pressure and see how it feels. I haven't been able to dig up any pressure limits on my rims when doing a quick web search. I understand the max psi limit decreases with tire width from what I did find.
