Will there be much of a difference between the 2? I saw the 35mm at my LBS and it looked like a thin tire, so I could just imagine how thin the 30mm will be. Should I be concerned going with the 30mm? I don't want to go wider to be safe and be sorry it will be costing me speed. I am coming from a Raleigh comfort bike that has 27.5 x 1.95 tires, so I know anything will be an upgrade. Been riding 20 miles at a clip and looking to boost that with a new hybrid. And no, not looking for a road bike at this time
