Oh AZ I'm a bit of a slut when it comes to tires. I've tried them all just about! I'll probaby stick with the Pirellis for now. They're cheap and handle plenty good enough for my current level of riding(read: old and slow).
Eh, being fast isn't all it's crapped up to be - I'd rather be slow and smoothe anyday.

You're at the top of the bracket for tire pressure that's even recommended by Pirelli (the chart is from their full line technical spec PDF). With the temps on the roads in your area, I can't help but think the pressure is MUCH greater as you ride through the day... if it works for you, then it works for you... but, it could present a safety issue.
