Tangential, but related: Jan again claims to have found the best width/diameter combinations. But is there really any objective standard for this, given riders' different preferences for handling? I ask because for me, the 559 bsd wheeled road bikes Grant designed feel perfect with 28 mm tires; and while I certainly can feel differences between 26ers and 29ers, I can't say that 559 X 2" tires handle better than 622 X 2" tires.
So what does "optimum" mean here? This question leaves out any other benefits than supposed handling advantages from wider tires.
