i find it really interesting how much of a difference people report between tires of similar size, type and pressure.

i must not have a very sensitive butt or hands; while i can certainly tell the difference, i wouldn’t say going from tubed gatorskin hardshells to tubeless GP5000 felt all that different, yet many described the hardshells as some sort of riding purgatory involving wet cement, broken glass, and nails on chalkboard! the difference in measured speed is far more noticeable than the difference in feel, but there are too many other variables to be definitive about that.
