    Depends of a few things such as...

    1. Build quality of wheel
    2. Rim being used
    3. Tire pressure rating
    4. Weight of rider
    5. Conditions of roads

    Don't forget casing stiffness. Everything else being equal, a flexible tire will be more prone to pinch flats.

    The weight of the rider would be around 315. I am 205 and the tires I have seem to have no problems whatsoever. I was just wondering if a tire with pressure of 100 max psi would be okay? I've seen others that go up to 125...I am not sure what would be better.

    As Morbius mentioned, I think the biggest question mark is whether or not the wheels can support the weight.
