In my experience, fat tires roll just as well as skinny ones if you adjust the pressure well enough to avoid excess deformation. I can't run my Kojaks anywhere near the labeled max, way too harsh. And they roll just as easily at -15 psi as they do at max. At high speeds fat tires are way less aero, but at cruise speeds they are fantastic. And starting from a dead stop is cake too.

They aren't light though.
