The quality of the wider tire will affect the comfort, apart from any effect of the greater width. I'm familiar with Paselas -- worthy inexpensive tires, and not bad -- but I've found that even narrower, but more supple, tires ride better. My current ~29 mm actual Compass Elk Passes, for one; these are very noticeably smoother, and faster, at least to feel; and even the old, very smooth but very skinny Specialized 26 X 1" Turbo felt smoother at appropriate pressures -- 80/90 psi versus 50-60 for the Paselas, which were surprisingly sensitive to pressure. These Turbos measured about 22 or 23 mm on my skinny rims, compared to the ~30-31 of the labeled-32 non TG Paselas I used.
For the record.
