I don't find the narrow tires rattle you that bad. They need to be run at the right psi but they can deform pretty easy because they're so thin.
I was kind of just being silly. Though I'm more of a utility/cruising kind of rider, and never had much need for speed. Guess I never learned to ride a real, good quality road bike really (whence I have encountered narrow tires) ... probably the bikes I have ridden were ill adjusted or a bad fit. I dunno. But all I think of when I see skinny tires is: road shock, pain, wheel caught in drain, paranoia about potholes and tiny divots. It's just not fun. Probably something I'm doing wrong. Maybe some day, I'll understand the appeal.
