I'd appreciate your opinions and experiences on what is considered the best tire size [width] for commuting purposes. I'm looking for a tire that has good pavement grip, is quick rolling, yet is wide enough to make the ride comfy.
My commuter bike is a rigid, steel MTB, currently running WTB 2.1 Nanoraptors (my only spares from my other - hardtail - MTB) and find them to be very comfy and surprisingly fast-rolling, yet I'm looking for something with better grip on smooth streets (ever try taking a fast corner on wet blacktop on these Nanos? :eek: ). For comparison, the Nanos replaced 1.5" slicks that, strangely, felt slower rolling than the Nanos 😕
Any suggestions are very much welcome. Specific tire brands/models are good (26" only please).
TIA
