The next set of tires I buy will be 23s. I haven't bought any since the late 90s.

Cycling safety is largely self-regulating.* If a cyclist flouts the law, resulting in an accident, it's likely the cyclist, and the cyclist alone, will be injured (unless he hits a pedestrian).
Meanwhile, if a motorist flouts the law, and has an accident, it's likely the cyclist, and the cyclist alone, will be injured.
So motorists can shove it with their finger-pointing.

Here's the bottom line of cyclists vis-à-vis motorists.

Whew, made it through another weekend, barely.
I grabbed a 6-pack of Dale's pale recovery ales during the major headwind ride home.

meh, I can overlook a mm on each side for that price. Enve says 23 for these wheels, so I do it. If I want Cush I'll take the MTB.
My frame absorbs enough harshness I never notice it among all of the other **** that annoys me while I ride A road bike. If I rode more chip seal I'd probably be singing another tune.
