More important is tire quality and design. Large low pressure hybrid tires often exhibit high rolling resistance, whereas higher quality / pressure slicks offer about the same rolling resistance as much narrower tires. The only real difference is weight, which you only notice on a overall lightweight bike with light wheels.
