also F1 tire width is generally down to regulations, and not any sort of ideal-tire-width development
I have used and ridden 19s. So to me a 23 is rather plush. I prefer 23mm tires and since I am not a big guy, 5-10, 160 (maybe) I can drop a little pressure, about 100 psi and do fine. I do have one road bike with 25s fitted and my Cross Check currently wears 38s. So, I have choices depending on if I feel fast or feel like not fast.
