Since I have "gone wide with pride" I have noticed how uncomfortable by skinny 25mm wide race tires are on my vintage race bike. My all round bike sports 41mm wide (actual) tires at 70 psi and they are carefree and fast enough. So far these have been impervious to sharp rocks on my friends long driveway and I love how they smooth out the road. Acceleration is slower than lighter tires but its not very noticeable in the real world. I am amazed at how some publications promote what is basically a racing orientated mindset. If I could go back 30 years and loose 80 pounds I could ride those skinny tires again and fantasize that I am somehow faster by a large margin !
