I installed them in August, and I wondered why I waited so long. By comparison, my previous tires rode like rocks. My new tires are 32 mm wide.
If you want comfort than go with a high thread count like the Challenge Criterium RS 27mm tire that has a 350 thread count. Now of course you could go fatter like the 32's you have and that will increase comfort, but to add to that get a thread count like the Challenge Almanzo if you want a gravel tire, it's a 33mm with 260 thread count
