Let me just point out that 2.35" is not fat, and 1.5" is not skinny.

Thanks to the weather we had here last week I rode my 4.8" wide tires on the fat bike (12 psi), 35mm on the commuter (60 psi), and 23mm tires on the road bike (120psi) and they were all awesome. Sure, different bikes, differnet conditions, different speeds, and oh yeah different clothes! Some folks ride fat bikes (4+" tires) 365 days a year and love them to death. Others will only ride high pressure (21-23mm) race tires and would never even consider anything wider.

My point is, there is a right tire for you and your bike and your preferences. It could be any of them, The more you ride the more you'll know what you like. There is no right or wrong, what's right for you is all that matters. I just happen to like them all, Different strokes ya know...
