There was recent conversation in another thread, and I'm forgetting the 
details exactly, but the takeaway was that the supple / high quality skinny 
tires were more comfortable off-pavement than the bigger tires - which 
surprised the owner.  This sprang to mind when I read this because the GKSS 
are actually not super comfortable tires for their size in my experience 
(and I've heard this from others, too).  Size is obviously a factor, but I 
think a knobbier and supple ~42mm tire could be the magic balance that 
leaves you not wanting more both on pavement and trail.  Lately I've been 
quite impressed by the Conti Terra Trail - they are fast and quiet on 
pavement beyond my expectations. Not as grippy as the RH knobbies, but 
predictable. Anyhow, food for thought. My TL;DR is that it's important to 
focus on casing quality as size, and going up in size will not be a benefit 
if the casing isn't as good or better.
