    I’ve been running those 28mm Gatorskins on my commuter at 6 – 6.5bar (Circa 90-95 PSI-ish),

    are you 16-18 stone? otherwise thats a very high pressure for a 28c[/quote]

    Do you have a chart/formula for “correct” tyre pressures?

    Conti’s “recommended” pressures are pretty close what I’ve been using, but don’t seem to relate to rider weight at all…

    I’m using the newish panaracer gravel king in 28c flavour. Lovely tyre in all conditions. Recommended.

    True, but would never use them on a ‘race’ bike. The wet bike weighs a ton anyway, and will take the reliability over light weight when it’s pissing down!

    Fair point, but my commute is nearly 20 miles each way. Lightness matters

    I would like to point you in the direction of the Grand Prix GT tyres:

    Excellent puncture resistance and Black Chilli compound for grip. Good weight too, recommended.
