......your comment about getting pinch flats at one point and deciding to go to a heavier and sturdier sidewall in order to run lower pressures. 

OK, I give in......I just scanned a few online reviews and rider comments on the Karma, and lots of guys are commenting on the thin sidewalls and frequent pinch flats on these tires.  Methinks your instinct was correct, sir.  Probably not good to run less than 35 psi.  Other comments:  stay away from wet roots! (no joke!)  And no sharp rocks (thin sidewalls).  On the plus side, they all seem to love the light weight, low rolling resistance, and great grip on dry hardpack.  Seems like a great summer tire for dry trails.

Just google for reviews.....lots to read.....

Cheers!
