So changed out the tires on my new Contend SL1 Giant bike...Man the bike should have came this way in my opinion. I ran 95-100lbs in my 25mm, and just a tad less in the 28s at 95lbs max.

The drive is so much smoother and less harsher on my ass and hands! The bike feels more planted and secure at 25-35mph as well.

I hear that 25mm tires and smaller go faster downhill...but also that very few people are elite enough to notice the difference....

Can I have some opinions and possible explanations of why the 28s feel so much nicer?>

thanks yall,
