I've probably mentioned this before, but I think wider tires give a much better, albeit slower ride. My ECR is awesome for what it was designed, but its sad on pavement. The large diameter Cupacabras float over potholes and cracks like they aren't even there, but rolling resistance gets to me on longer trip intervals. If the ECR were an Ogre, and I was rolling some 2.0" Schwalbes, I'd be flying.
