By choosing the lower rolling resistance tyre in real world terms it means that your coefficient of flats has increased by a ratio of 1.5/1.2. The average moving speed improvements are more than offset by the increase in time spent fixing the extra flats. But you now have something else to brag about at the coffee shop.
