My touring bike is a Surly Troll (26") with 2.35" Extra Terrestrials, 45lb up front, 50lb rear. Toured last summer with a friend riding 700x32mm. I didn't slow him down. Our average was 95 miles, 125 was our long day. The ETs are comfortable, ride well on pavement, gravel and trails. Wider tires are just fine.
