Thanks to all. What I meant was whether the claimed increase in performance of larger tires like the the Big Apple over earlier cruiser type 'balloon tire' were justified and if there were any other such tires in this category. If they do offer the benefits of both the cushioning of a large volume tire and the low weight/ resistance of a racing slick then they would definitely be worth trying.
