i have ritchey speedmax comp 700x35 tires. they seem to run wider than typical 35's. i need an ever-so-slightly narrower tire on the front.
do 700x35 irc mythos cx tires tend to run larger, smaller or about the same as the ritchey speedmax?
Can't comment on the Ritcheys, but my irc mythos CX slicks (man, that name always is a mouthfull) seem to run narrow. My WTB Cross Wolfs, for example, are labeled 32mm but seem just as wide with a higher profile.

How about tire measurement by measurement? like with numbers'n'****
Actual tire width can also depend on rim width, and I don't own a set of calipers, so all I can offer is "X is wider than Z." No "numbers and ****." Sorry.

thanks for the feedback. the speedmax seem to have a high profile. actually, that's a bigger issue than the width right now.
