I am riding a schwinn crisscross hybrid with tires with max psi of 70. I wear about 200lbs & after inflating the tires while I ride the rear tire seems to be soft that I can see the sidewall from the seat, any advice?
Thanks

Add air in incremental steps until u feel its getting uncomfortable.
If your tire blows, get a different one.

I agree, that's got to be hard on your back.
when you say a different one you mean the tube with higher psi capacity?
What kind of tires and size are we talking about here? How's the thing ride?
Being able to see the tire bulge a bit isn't necessarily a bad thing.

hell, i run around all day showing my bulge to anyone who will look at it...
I ride with lower tire pressures and there is a little bulge...not necessarily a bad thing (I do this for traction on wet rocks/roots mostly but also because I'm too lazy to keep pumping my tire up to find the sweet spot sometimes).
I went to one of my local trail systems, didn't bother checking PSI. But the bike was absorbing all small bumps, gliding over sand, gripping and climbing almost everything... went home to check and thought my gauge was broken. Hooked tires up to pump and go the same result. Approx 1 PSI front and rear. Could have been a bit more but not by much.
Skeptical...
Could have been around 3 but the needle on my gauge didnt move much.
