Did you ever tried those tire on dry pavement? just to see what pace you can keep?
I've commuted with it many times. Generally in the summer/dry pavement I run different tires with a less aggressive tread pattern and at a higher pressure (Big Fat Larry's) than I am currently (Bud and Lou's). The bike is a lot faster than one would assume. I'd say on my commute I average 14-15 mph with the BFL's. Off road on single track it's remarkably fast.
