tires matter massively more than wheels for ride quality, comfort, agility and grip. wheels are for stiffness (if you don't feel or observe flex, then it's stiff enough), aerodynamics and weight. there are many more grams to be gained or lost in wheels than any two tires of the same size and approximate cost.

next set of tires, buy 25mm GP4000S. you'll get even better ride quality and forget all about the duranos. or instead you can buy a 25mm set of some other premium or ultra-premium tire. but a durano is no match for a GP4000S, nor should it be considering their list prices.*


*yes I know about buying tires from the UK or ebay.
