Can you recommend some thinner tire?
You don't necessarily want a 'thinner' tire; you want a better tire if your objective is to reduce rolling resistance/increase 'speed' for a given effort.

Lower rolling resistance is a product of better tire materials, design, construction, tread. If you replaced the stock 38mm Bontragers on your bike (I'm assuming that's what is on there) with a set of these -- https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop...8-barlow-pass/ -- in either version, the difference would be quite noticeable. Same width; much 'faster' tire.
