I only suggested it because I made the same change on my Marlin 5 this summer when I repurposed it from a crap mountain bike into a crap road bike. The tire change alone made a 2mph difference and made the bike handle a lot better through turns. I eventually got a proper road bike and put 40c Terra Speeds on the bike.
