Good question... a little more stability in sandy sections? Not sure if that's correct though. I already have another bike with 700x40s, so don't want to get too wide. Just don't want to lose the nimbleness on the road. Just thinking out loud...

Is this bike primarily a road bike, or does it get a lot of multi-surface use? Multi-surface demands compromises. Also, trying a different tire is sometimes a worthwhile experiment, even if you find it's not the right choice.

I'd say it's 70/30 road/gravel. Basically, it's mostly road but I sometimes venture onto gravel sections on my way home. I think I'll try the GP5000 TRs in the 32 size and see if that gives me any benefits. Don't want tires with tread on this bike...

Sounds reasonable.
