Gatorskins are NOT heavy. Wider tires do not necessarily mean you'll go slower.
Yes just commute here and there and ride around for workouts

Put 5,600 miles on Re-Fuse tires (tandem and single) in 2011 with one flat. Not a puncture but a loose patch!
We live in the desert in AZ so lots of
chipseal roads, cattleguards and yes (!) cactus thorns + usual road debris.
Those sound heavy duty, i ride in glass all the time. Im surprised my tires have held up this well. Not one flat

How come they wont? i thought thinner tires decreased rolling resistance. Im not expecting to go 10 MPH faster, but any gain is better than nothing
