But that's what I'm saying. The tires/tube comes MORE into play, regardless of speed.
That's why I said go with tires/tubes first over wheels for performance if you have to choose. If you don't, then pairing the both is best.
But aero wheels with crap tires/tubes will be slower than nonaero wheels with fast tubes/tires.
