Well I have a haro ZX-24 BMX bike but all I ever ride on is asphalt and concrete so I'd like to get some nice road tires, I know absolutely nothing about tires but so far I'm looking at Kenda Kwest 24x1.5 tires, any opinions? Also my rims are Odyssey hazard lites, 24x1.75 and it seems that most road tires are 100 PSI??? That seems like a very high pressure for a tire..

my kenda k-rads are 65 psi max. But that is kinda not much pressure man. the 100psi are where its at. Don't have any suggestions as to which one is good for 24" Ive only used the k-rads until I buy new ones so bump to this if anyone has any good suggestions.

I once bought a 100psi tire. I was skeptical because personally I prefer around 93psi. I did not like 100psi so I let out 7psi and the tire began to fall apart when I rode on it.

Yeah my k-rads are 65 as well but the k-rads sadly aren't good enough for street alone.
Also will those odyssey tires fit on a 1.75 rim? Those say 2.05

Well I confirmed what you said with Odysseys website ( not that I didn't believe you, i just like to double check ) but could you possibly explain to me how that works? I would think the slightly smaller tire would fit compared to the bigger tire but of course, I don't know how any of this actually works.

Aitken p-lytes. I run them about 85 psi.
BTW, most tire pressure gages are about +/- 10% at 100 Psi.
