sacrifice comfort for speed .
I think that's a falacy myself, that comfort = loss of speed. IMO, at least with regards to road
tires, wider (within reason) is always better. In other words, a 25mm tire is faster, not
slower, that a
19mm. When you are more confident with the rubber that's meeting the road, you ride faster. Skinny
tires make me feel uneasy, and they are damn uncomfortable too.
I'd be more concerned with the durability of the casing and tread, and to a lesser extent, the ride
feel and weight.
