PSI tires in NYC
What PSI are you running in NYC and at what size wheels?
Due to all the salt on the NYC roads, there will be massive potholes everywhere. What pressure are you using to protect your shoes?
Keep in mind that higher psi will be safer for wheels but trade off is harsher ride. What psi would be a good balance?

With my 19's I'm running 40psi and the ride is pretty damn harsh. Wondering if I should lower it a bit for ride confort but also be safe with the rock salt potholes.
I guess for now I'm keeping it at 40 psi

Carlos, yea I hit a pothole and bent the inner lip of the rim a bit, about 1 inch wide, I went and got it banged out, all is good . These potholes are KILLER. I can not imagine the CROSS BRONX EXPRESSWAY.lol
