As I said, if you read the article, low width tires need to be pumped up to higher PSI compared to high width tires to attain any reduction in rolling resistance. Comparing a low width attack tire and a 24mm tire is unfair at the same PSI making the chart's results less than solid.

I would take all the info on that chart with a significant grain of salt, especially without a better description of test conditions and rationale for them.
