I ride a 2017 Rambler and I recently replaced the front 2 tires with Maxis Hookworms (110psi). I don't mind feeling every small bump in the road, but my gear shifters do. Does anyone have any tips on quietening them? I can ride with my fingers resting on the shifters (stops the vibration), but sometimes I need my hands to do other things!

There also is some thought that extreme high tire pressure isn't that necessary. A lot of the rolling resistance is dependent on tire construction, profile, tread or no tread, tire to rim sizing etc..
A lot of tire decisions are more of a placebo type scenario. It works for him and it works for me but does it really ?
Currently I have Duranos mounted and run mine at 85-100 psi dependent on that days ride. I have not had a flat this year but we do not have a lot of flat producing debris on our trails.
Have you tried using duct tape to secure it? Rattles drive me crazy too so I would try anything to make it go away.
