    meanwhile I’m sketched out by the tires on my uncles old road bike that say max 90 psi wheras mine say like 20 or so.

      narrow tires need more pressure to maintain the same outward force, because the area is smaller.

        Ok so that’s what the backup tire says 60psi.

        When I first saw it, I thought that it has to be wrong and I’m looking at the wrong number.

          When I saw it the first time, before I understood how it worked, I thought “surely this is just for long-term storage purposes and I would need to bleed some pressure if I wanted to drive on it”
