Running wider tyres at the same pressure will just give you a harsher ride. <br /><br />As for the lack of "...any sort of scientific testing equipment or data..." all you need it to time your rides on your usual routes. <br />It shouldn't take long for you to realise that you'll be typically faster on 25mm tyres (especially on bad surfaces) or at worst just as fast but much more comfortable and with better grip. <br /><br />Armand Gonzales:<br />There's pretty enough of good research on tyres and rolling resistance available and it's funny that there's no evidence of any sort that 23mm tyre width offers any advantages for the majority of riders;-)Barteoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01787105382119405663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85431200264080671.post-36659469246189064662013-05-09T23:53:48.614-07:002013-05-09T23:53:48.614-07:00Agreed, Pétur.

If your'e a Clyde or frequent rough asphalt, go for the 25's; your butt will thank you for it. If you're a lighter weight rider who prioritizes weight and performance over vertical compliance, by all means go for the 25's.<br /><br />Think the latter should be 23.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
