Lorn.....I have 2 aero tires I bought a couple months ago just waiting for 
my chin chins to wear down a little more,I have always run 48 psi in the 
chins w/ no flats in 300hr knock knock. I would be interested if the 
circumference/dia. is the same as the chins/lambs. Does any one have the 
measurements of a new chin/lamb at 48psi ?
