Tire Pressure under rain?

higher pressures (within reason) can stop pinch flats

better tyres stop punctures better - look for kevlar protected tyres and, for the rain and other inclement weather, you can do worse than Vittoria Open Pave CG

If you need some, email me and I'll let you know of a cheap, quick supplier!

I don't think wet or dry roads increase the likelihood of a puncture, but over the years I have gotten in the habit (not scientific, this could be just superstition) of letting out a few psi when it's wet. Seems to provide a little better traction. I may be the only person in the world who does this, I don't know. But results in wet weather are usually a little better than in dry, so go figure.

I've been told that a high pressure (120PSI) under dry road will stop puncture,
but under a wet condition, willl high pressure stop or in turn increase the chance of getting a puncture??

I suggest not changing the pressure due to wet/dry weather. If anything, wet weather makes pinch flats more likely... due to visibility issues. It also seems to wash up sharp bits that increase the likelyhood of punctures.
In all: I call it as "wash"!

thanks for the idea,
seems i better go with the pressure in the tire nowhere the weather!~
