There are those of us who still ride on what now are called skinny tires - 23 & 25...
But the one consideration, of great importance, when discussing both the tire construct, width, inflation pressure and ride quality, which is almost never mentioned for real consideration - the the rider and bike weight.
A 165 lb rider + bike weight will 'ride' very differently from 'how' and 'what' a 200 lb rider + bile will feel.
So comments of regarding tire 'performance' and characteristics really don;t mean much, if one is aware of the rider qualities and riding style/purpose; AND what type of riding surface has generated those comments/considerations from any rider.
All these tires threads are always very 'lacking'...
Ride On
