Conti TopContact 50 Vectran 26 X 2 tire pressure?? For high speed riding?

[MinnBobber]

HI,
what are folks running for front and rear pressure on these Conti 26 x 2 tires?

I do mostly high speed cruising here in MN but roads are getting worse with holes/bumps/ripples/cracks.

Stromer with no suspension so those road nasties at 29 mph are.... nasty.

Conti max is 65 psi. I'm running 58 in rear and 53 in front.
What works best for your high speed running YET also gives some decent bump absorption??

I really don't want to get front suspension setup and/or suspension seatpost BUT depends how much they help???

Thanks for help

Bobber …
What you are doing seems sensible. At the moment, you are close to the upper pressure limit so try dropping the pressure (a little at a time). How low you go will depend on your weight and the severity of the 'holes, bumps, ripples and cracks'

If you drop the pressure too low, you'll risk pinch flats when the tube is rammed up against the rim.
