My EZ Sport AX is quite comfortable with these tire/pressure combinations.

Rear; 26" x 1.35" Panaracer Ribmo foldilng tire. The pressure range is 60-95PSI. I run it at 75 PSI

Front; 20" x 1.25" Schwalbe Kojak folding tire. Pressure range; 55-95 PSI. I run it with 64 PSI.

My biggest problem with comfort on this bike was vibraton from the front wheel and coming up through the bars. On asphalt pavement where the smoth top layer had worn off, the vibration really aggravated the nerves in my hands. Folding tires with lower pressures fixed that. Putting two foam hand grips on each side helped too. Lower tire pressures does mean slower speeds. However, there is a happy medium in there if you experiment with what you already have. BK
