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.
