hi all, i have a question about tire width, and would like to know people's experience on this.
are there much difference between 700x23 and 700x20 tire width?

i've been riding on 700x23 tire (contigp3k) for over 4k km(in 2 years) now, but i have the opportunity of getting some 700x20 tires cheap, i'm wondering if it's good idea to get them? or stick to the 700x23?

How heavy are you and what are the roads like?
