Hello,
My 26" wider tires provide excellent resistance to punctures, as well as good stability on dirt/gravel/railroad bed with a full touring load. Their rolling resistance seems excessive, however, possibly due to their weight or tread type, although they are not knobby.
Any suggestions for a tire that provides these benefits but are also easier to pedal around?
Thanks,
Wolfy
