Another option is the Rivbike Jake Brown blue (33c+) They feel faster than my Gator skins (28c). The gator skins tire pressure was 90-110 psi.
JB's 65- 80psi.
I feel less beat up. My commute consists of 20km+ of newly laid pavement which is the dug up for a pipe they forgot. Then patched then dug up each way.... you under what I mean.
When Black ice might be present I know have my schwable Winter studs. SLOW. To be expected.
