Funny. I just switched my 700x32s over to my Commuter and my 700x28s over to my hybrid bike. I like *both* bikes better now. The Hybrid tends to be used for shorter start/stop trips.

After learning that bigger tires at the same pressure actually roll better, I upgraded my Ebike (Giant Twist) from 700x38s to 700x40s. The ride has improved and I think my range has even improved. May try the 700x40s on the Cross Check Commuter soon just to see what they're like.
