tyre psi - could be a stupid or obvious question!!

I build but never ride, but last night I took my rl20 out, running on panaracer freestyle tyres, and they where struggling under my 14 1/2 stone, even though pumped up to a full 45psi.

I have a set of peregrine freestyle tyres where the psi is 90? would these cope better with my weight?

When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.

A full 45psi  :LolLolLolLol: if you're going to ride it regularly I'd suggest some new school high pressure tyres, there's even retro looking ones about if you're worried about looks  :daumenhoch:

Put 60 in what you've got. They'll be fine.
