[QUOTE=Mr. Beanz;9869841]25!......I know, not a choice but if you're thinking about speed, why would you ride a city comfort bike? Even a hybrid would kick major butt on that bike and still be comfy. I'm 230'ish and ride easy on 23's (roadie). Currently riding a big fat Armadillo on the back (25) cause I had it and it's flat free for 5000 miles./QUOTE]

You got 5000 miles on a 25mm Armadillo? FIVE THOUSAND?! I weigh about what you do, sometimes 10 pounds more, sometimes 10 less, and i've never gotten more than half that from any bike tire, including Armadillos (which I hated and gave away, actually--they rode like they were carved out of oak).
I agree about road bike comfort, though. My Atlantis is the most comfortable bike I've ever owned. The day I got it, I could spend half again as much time in the saddle as I'd ever been able to do on anything else.
