Mark,

Thanks for the response. My tires are 23mm. Are there wider tires for me to try
out?

There are many tires to choose from. I would recommend a tire for the type of
riding you do be at least 23mm and have some type of tread pattern. Smooth and
narrow tires are great as long as you ride hard surfaces as they offer less
rolling resistance. A 23mm will give you a better ride and in most cases less
prone to punctures.

tires and it comes down to personal choice. If you can afford them TUFO's are
great, as well as Conti's, they are a bit less expensive. I feel most tires are
greatly over priced as you can buy somen auto tires for less than a quality bike
tire. It is a balancing act of what is most durable and what your budget is.
