I've been experimenting with my M&Gs, and have dropped them from 30/40 to 25/30 this winter. Traction and comfort have improved, and I still don't seem to be in any danger of pinch flatting.

Still pondering @Daniel4's admonition to keep the mouth open, though: is it to keep from clenching other muscles?
